[Fwd: Re: load balancing multiple isp]

[Danny <dineshg@hostway.com>]

Hi Arios,

Refer this 
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html

People have used and tested this.

I was trying a similar one, but was trying for round robin distribution. 
But didnt quite work perfectly.

In the end I decided to use Mikrotik, which cost me 45$ [ which is fine 
for the amount of time I would have wasted with iptables ]

Infact, I was partially successful using nth match. But it didnt do a 
perfect round robin. Here is what I tried :
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -m state --state NEW   -m nth 
--every 2 --counter 2  --packet 0  -j CONNMARK  --set-mark 1
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -m state --state NEW   -m nth 
--every 2 --counter 2  --packet 1  -j CONNMARK  --set-mark 2
ip ro add table 10 default via 10.90.101.1 dev eth2
ip ru add fwmark 1 table 10
ip ro fl ca


ip ro add table 20 default via 10.90.102.1 dev eth3
ip ru add fwmark 2 table 20
ip ro fl ca


iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j SNAT --to 10.90.101.2
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth3 -j SNAT --to 10.90.102.2

ip ro add default nexthop via 10.90.101.1  dev eth2 weight 1 nexthop via 
10.90.102.1 dev eth3 weight 1


EXT IF :eth2 and eth3
Debian Sarge 3.1  - kernel -2.4.27  [ patched with patch-o-matic XX ]



All the best.
