I'm confused as well. Suppose you have two links to the internet, a DMZ, and an internal network, SNAT'ed. Suppose you have a public web server in the DMZ (the DMZ is not SNAT'ed). How would multipath route (with or without equalize) help here? I mean, it would only really help if there were connections starting from the inside (DMZ or SNAT'ed network) to the outside. But: - the internal network would probably do many downloads, and not uploads - the web server doesn't originate traffic, it responds to requests from the outside world, and it will respond using the same link the request came in (or not?) _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
