In a situation with multiple routers to the Internet and a Linux firewall/router that either makes a choice about which route to use or load balances among the routes: > I don't think you *need* to have a separate NIC for each > router, but if I were doing it, I'd want each router on a > separate network. This has been bugging me - if a single NIC will work then what value does another NIC add? Let's say the circuits are both T1. With two possible circuits, that's just a little more than 3mb per second. At 100 mbit per NIC, it would take more than 50 T1s to swamp it. So why a NIC per T1? Why not just give a single NIC an IP address in all the networks for each T1? Or am I missing something important? thanks - Greg Scott _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
