hi all, i want guidance in advance routing--to be specific load balance between two links.. i have gone thru the LARTC docs and docs for julians patches too.. am yet to implement it but have a few queries/doubts.. our setup--> we have two providers. the present one is thru a wan link using cisco router & the 2nd is a wireless link terminated in another router. these two routers will be connected to linux box(its a compulsion to have 2 routers).. the linx box has 3 interface, 2 of wich are connected to the router via a switch.. we already have valid/real ip with us after going thru the docs i find that with julians patch one needs to **MASQUERADE** to the links... we dont want that !.. we want our real ip to flow in these 2 links(real ip already being broadcasted on provider's network).. so my Question is-->possible without **MASQUERADE** ??.. will the setup(as shown in docs) loadbalance for our real ip's ?? .. what other things i have to consider ?.. Awaiting a reply very very anxiously..
