[LARTC] Load balance (two links in one server): why is this not

[LARTC] Load balance (two links in one server): why is this not

    Hello,

    I am trying to make a load balance at my box using two conections. I have compile my kernel with this patch routes-2.6.13-12.diff (tha I get from this website: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/~julian/#routes).

    The problem is that when I try to balance using weight sintaxe (i will put the script bellow) some conectios just drop. So I can enter some pages but other I could not... What can I do?

    I am using this script (and reading this howto, again, to see if I missed something: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt):

--- SCRIPT ---

# Configuracao de redirecionamento de portas para os links

I've tried to implement similar setup some time ago. The problem was
that there was no way to assure that active connection won't be routed
throu different gateways (route cache entries timeout...). I've failed
to overcome this problem with a help of route patches.

I was able to balance traffic over few connections with connmark+nth
iptables patches. Think of it as an alternative if route patches won't
work as advertised.

Marek,

I made a test to route some kind of trafic throu one link and other kind throu other using L7-Filter compiled into kernel and iptables.

It worked properly. So now I will put P2P and messenger trafic throu one link and all other trafic thou other link.

Thanks.
