I now have my load balancing router up and running on two modems, one cable modem and one DSL. So far, it seems to be doing what it's supposed to be doing. (For folks who remember my earlier questions regarding this matter, I did try to order that Xincom router but after much fiddling about was eventually told that it is out of stock. However, this Dlink DI-LB604 is supposed to do the same thing. It was also $30 cheaper.) I have a question about /etc/resolv.conf in relation to this setup. Each of my two ISPs have two nameservers for customer use. For the sake of demonstration, let's say that ISP A has nameserver 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 while ISP B has nameservers 3.3.3.3 and 4.4.4.4 Now, the name of my internal network is melvilletheatre.net. My /etc/resolv.conf from when I was using only one single ISP and a regular (single WAN) router was as follows: search melvilletheatre.net nameserver 1.1.1.1 nameserver 2.2.2.2 When I set up this dual router, I changed /etc/resolv.conf to this: search melvilletheatre.net nameserver 1.1.1.1 nameserver 3.3.3.3 nameserver 2.2.2.2 nameserver 4.4.4.4 This seems to be working at the moment, but I know of at least one problem. "man resolv.conf" tells me that there can be a maximum of three nameserver entries so I assume that the 4.4.4.4 entry is being ignored. My question is, is there a better way to set this up? In addition to load balancing this router also does failover, so if one of my connections goes down things are supposed to keep chugging along anyway using the other connection. It seems like this would be another factor in properly configuring /etc/resolv.conf because as it is now if ISP A drops then I think I have only one working nameserver entry left in /etc/resolv.conf at that time. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
