They are adressing methods to make multiple Linux boxes appear as one box. Their problem is the reverse problem to mine. I want to make one box look like 2 boxes and have it automatically use the best Internet connection -- where I define best as: 1. Use the Wireless connection if available, 2. Use the T1 connection if the the wireless connection has failed. My critical applications are: 1. Receive incoming email 2. Resolve DNS queries for my domain 3. Get outgoing packets to flow. For incoming email, I can specify 2 MX records for the 2 ISP-issues IP addresses. Both will ultimately end up at the same machine. I can specify the Wireless IP address as the highest priority. To resolve DNS queries, I can specify more than one IP address as the nameservers for my domain, again, both these may end up at the same machine, which has multiple IP addresses. I can specify the Wireless IP address as the highest priority For outgoing packets, I don't care about the source IP address, as long as it is one of my 2 IP addresses and I would like to use the wireless IP address if the link is up.
