Re: [LARTC] Load Balance/Redundant Internet Connections

["William L. Thomson Jr." <support@obsidian-studios.com>]

Well after many months, a failed attempt at solving my problem with a
Nexland ISBPro800, I finally now am using both of my SDSL lines
together.

Bliss. :)

This was not an easy process, and I ended up going through just about
every possible scenario until finding the one that worked.

I would not have found the one tha worked had it not been for the
assistance of 

Julian Anastasov

He responded to many direct emails, and was very patient and
cooperative. 

His patches are a must in a situation like this.

Also stick to the examples shown in the nano-how-to
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/~julian/nano.txt

What I had problems with and what is a must is that the Linux router
must perform some sort of NAT.

In my situation it was a matter of using 

ipmasqadm portfw 

to do DNAT on my public IP's

and a 

ipchains -A forward -s w.x.y.z -j MASQ

One the internal network.


I am willing to answer questions and help others out.
That's just my way of giving back what I have received.
Someone help's me, I help someone else. 

So others heading down this path, it is possible, but there is only one
way at the present moment to go about it.

Have a nice day, and route on.
