Ahhh. Your experience is different than mine. I find Internet connections go up and down a lot more than the hardware that's connecting them to the local network and it's just dealing with the routing changes of those connections going up and down I want to deal with. > I'm used to doing things vaguely > like this: > > http://linuxman.wikispaces.com/Shorewall+basic+failover+with+heartbeat Heh. Nice. A bit overkill for my home situation though. :-) > No idea if it makes any sense with one box (insofar as that makes any > sense at all) - I'd never try, a second box is the cheapest element of > the setup. But you first have to solve my basic problem: adjusting to Internet connections going up and down on a single box before you can start to roll that out to multiple boxes -- to deal with hardware failures. b.
