Subject: [LARTC] load balance/redundancy
Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 17:32:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-98373938217017@msgid-missing> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <marc-lartc-98373938217013@msgid-missing>
<PRE>Well, I think I have the redundancy down... In a kludgy way. Right now I
have two default routes.
route add default gw 24.141.xxx.1
route add default gw 64.229.xxx.1
I can write a script that if one of connections goes down for x number of
pings, then remove the route.
Now for the load balancing.
Can you point me to documentation on iproute? Other then the Advanced
Routing HOWTO, unless I am missing something in it.
Thanks again,
Paul
