Ok, I have removed the Nexland ISBPro800, and put our linux router back into use. My initial testing was not to bad. Not exactly what I was looking for but it seems to be the closest I have gotten so far. On Mon, 2002-04-29 at 02:03, Julian Anastasov wrote: > Hello, > > On Sun, 28 Apr 2002, William L.

I doubt to many people will be bouncing back and forth between the IP's from different ISP. It will have more to do with what the DNS lookup's return. DNS not really being a topic for this list, but directly related to the outcome of what I am attempting to do. So please forgive me asking these questions here. If you know of a better place please let me know. Anyway, if anyone reading this could take a few seconds and click on the following links. Both of my SDSL lines are up and all servers and services should be available if everything is correct in the linux router. Please feel free to email the results of your using the following links to me. Also please click beyond the initial link just to make sure further lookups are the same. Links http://www.obsidian-studios.com ftp://ftp.obsidian-studios.com http://www.elvisplace.com http://www.suzakstrading.com The others are mail and DB related and will have to be tested out by clients. These are available to the general public and I am curious to know if the general public has any problems. Once again for clarification I am using two SDSL lines as a single gateway for my internal singles. Hopefully this will allow me to use both lines. Possible providing redundant service. If I am lucky a simple form of load balancing, although by load balancing I mean just being able to use both lines as one. Having the linux router determine the use of each line and balancing that out is beyond my expectations at the moment. But would be nice. So at the time I have this router in place, and if the above links do not work, it is due to the router's config. Thank you very much for anyone taking to time to click and provide feedback. Also I am open to comments or suggestions from anyone about my config. I do plan to share the results with others so they will not be faced with the same problems. Much less have to buy a Nexland unit or other piece of hardware that may or may not work. -- Sincerely, William L.
