Not without the Linux router performing NAT. > what other things i have to consider ?.. I would consider doing some NAT in one way or another. In my case I perform two consecutive rounds of NAT, one in each router, and again in the Linux router. In short, in order for Julian's patches to work and to load balance the connections, the Linux router must be doing NAT. So I would look into a topology in your network that would allow for the Linux router to perform NAT. Otherwise I do not believe you will be able to load balance your connections. -- Sincerely, William L.
