Before I start, I don't want to do ECMP or simple bonding ... I have multiple Internet connections available to multiple boxes on one of my networks. Box A connects to ISPs 1, 2 and 3 Box B connects to ISPs 1 and 4 Boxes A and B are both connected to each other and the rest of the network. 1) I would like to set up some dynamic routing in such a way that any given outgoing packet from Box A or B would go out over the ISP that had the "best" path (according to BGP) to the destination. I would like to be able to assign 'weights' to these routes (based on their available bandwidth), but it is not necessary. 2) I would like to have any given *nix box on the network pick the right gateway (A or B) given the destination of its packets. I understand that I could do 1) easily if I had a BGP AS#, but I don't. Is it possible to arrange 'private' peering arrangements so I could download the BGP views each ISP had without needing a public AS# (don't tell me I should get one -- it probably won't happen). Am I correct in assuming that OSPF (which I currently have installed) is the best way to handle route distribution within the network (#2 above)? Is there a 'good' way to configure it with as few rules as possible? I'm going to send this to the Zebra list as well once I find my address book entry for them, but I thought somebody here might have good answers too. -- Michael T. Babcock
