[LARTC] Linux 2.4 Redundant Internet Connection HOWTO

[LARTC] Linux 2.4 Redundant Internet Connection HOWTO

[Andrew]

<PRE>Hello,

I have just finished writing the howto mentioned above. As promised (See 
LARTC archives under subject &quot;A complicated routing scenario...&quot; I am willing 
to post it for people to see/use and give me feedback on. However, not 
wanting to bog the list I thought I'd post this first and see what I get back.

I don't currently have a place to put it on the web yet, so I can't just 
point you to a URL. I'd be willing to post a message to the mailing list with 
the howto attached, but I'm not sure how appropriate that would be. 

Comments suggestions are welcome. I have the following files available

MSWord document version (185K)
Postscript version (422K)
PDF version (104K)

PS. For an Idea of what the HOWTO contains, here's the TOC:

Contents:

1.	Introduction
	 1.1	Disclaimer &amp; license
	 1.2	Prior knowledge
	 1.3	Required software
2.	Miscellany
	 2.1	Topologies
	 2.2	Kernel packet flow
3.	Getting started
	 3.1	Router box preparation
	 3.2	Building &amp; installing a proper kernel
	 3.3	Network subsystem configuration
	 3.4	Rules and routes-single router
	 3.5	Rules and routes-two routers
	 3.6	DNS wizardry
	 3.7	WARNING
4.	Testing
	 4.1	Single router instructions
	 4.2	Dual router instructions
5.	Acknowledgements
6.	Appendix A - scripts for single router example
7.	Appendix B - scripts for dual router example

We'd be more than willing to host it for you, if you can upload via ssh scp.
If you can make an SGML version, you can even submit it to the Linux
Documentation Project. Let me know (off list).

[LARTC] Linux 2.4 Redundant Internet Connection HOWTO

[Andrew]

<PRE>Hello all,

Sorry for the long delay on getting my stuff up somewhere. I'm hoping to have 
it up on the LDP as a mini-HOWTO one of these days, and Bert Hubert from the 
list has kindly offered to host my files as well. 

But until all this get's ironed out, I'd like for people to be able to 
download the files, and send me comments about it. 

Thanks to Daniel Jay, this is possible. You can download the PS and PDF 
versions of my HOWTO at the following urls:

<A HREF="http://red-int.nashlink.net/redundant_connection-HOWTO.ps">http://red-int.nashlink.net/redundant_connection-HOWTO.ps</A>
<A HREF="http://red-int.nashlink.net/redundant_connection-HOWTO.pdf">http://red-int.nashlink.net/redundant_connection-HOWTO.pdf</A>

Sorry there's no web page but this was quick and dirty.

Just by way of reference, here's the TOC again.
