2 DSL connection

2 DSL connection

[varun]

Hello,

I want to use 2 DSL connections on one
system.

eth0 - DSL1 with static IP

eth1 - DSL2 with static IP

eth2 - LAN

I would like all traffic from eth2(LAN)
to be distributed equally between DSL1
and DSL2.

Is it possible to do that using iptables  ?

Thanks in advance

Varun

The functions of iproute2 will suffice, that one route to the 2 
interfaces of equal metrics. Of course, the 2 interfaces eth0 and eth1 
have to be NAT'ed. For details, please reference the documentation at :-

Hi

You can also take a look at the "nth" and/or "random" extensions for
netfilter.  Either of these two alongwith the route command should
give you the desired result.

It is possible, as already stated, you should look at lartc.  It does
get a little tricky if you need to dnat/snat those static IP's
internally.  We have done just that (two DSL's) for a couple clients.

In our case we don't equalize the outgoing routes but rather have then
going out a single route.  The second DSL is used for incoming VPN and
remote desktop connections.  This way if people are sending/reciving
large email or downloading/uploading a bunch of files, the people using
the VPN are unaffected by it.
