[LARTC] Dynamic IP ppp0

[LARTC] Dynamic IP ppp0

[Diego Rodriguez Herlein]

Hi !!!

Sorry about my english. 
I have this problem and I can not find any help.
I have a redhat 7.1 linux box as a gateway firewall with an adsl (ppp0) with 
dynamic IP (no static) and I just have add a new ISP with STATIC IP.
Can I do iproute 2 multipath load balancing across both ISP,? where can I 
read something about?? I don't know how can I do with the dymanic IP of my 
adsl link. Where can I fount examples of config ??? I am really lost.
Thank you very very much and sorry for disturbing the list. I hope this is a 
write topic for this list, and if is not, I really sorry and please tell me 
about if.
Again sorry about my english, I can read better than I write (lol!)
Best Regards,


Diego

Forwarded to the list, because of course, I simply cannot work a 
mailer.... (twice inside a month).

Yes.

 : where can I read something about??

Read about multipath routing here:

  http://lartc.org/lartc.html#AEN287

But in order to understand it you'll need to read about split access 
routing:

  http://lartc.org/lartc.html#LARTC.RPDB.MULTIPLE-LINKS

 : can I fount examples of config?

Some examples (probably not directly relevant to your needs) are available 
on the lartc.org site.  I presume you're using rp-pppoe for your aDSL 
link.  I'd suggest writing a script to reset the multipath route upon 
successful ppp0 connection establishment.  You should be able to use 
ip-up.local (or something similar).
