I want to aks for your help. I have 2 cable modems connected to 2 ether cards and i want to use both modems to connect to the Internet. The idea is to load-balance new connections (made from my computer) between the 2 ether cards. For example if I open 2 connections from my computer one will go via eth1 and the other will go via eth2. I don't want to have packets from one connections going through both ether cards; every connection with her ether card.
The gateway is the same for both modems.
I managed to do something by using the comand
# ip ro
193.231.146.0/24 dev eth0 scope link
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
#ip ro add default nexthop dev eth1 via 195.7.12.24 weight 128 nexthop dev eth2 via 195.7.13.3 weight 128
The connections were using on both modems, but I had one big problem; the computer tried to do ARP on internet hosts :). I know it's ridicoulus, but that's what happend.
I can''t use TEQL because the ISP doesn't provide help for this kind of stuff and every modem (ethercard) must use a fixed IP address, so I can't use a third address (the one of teql0).
Thank you for your time and if you have any questions send the, please. Some good and complete docs (links) would be appreciated too.
