Re: [LARTC] Aliases and Multipath

Got it, thanks Damion

It was so easy to think in using directly ethx:y in iptables :(

Anyway,my point is that i need to do SNAT in a three ISP environment
with multipath routing to balance the outgoing traffic.

So far i decided to go with separate Ethernet cards so i will go back to
the aliasing thing later.

Now i will do NAT with iptables in separate cards in POSTROUTING chain
(after routing decision has taken).

By the way, what's the behaviour of multipath routing if one of the
providers goes down ? Should i take care manually to take it out from
the multipath ?
