Hello, A while ago I bothered some people in this list regarding issues with multipath routing and advanced routing in general. The main goal was to setup a complex networks where all servers would be available through both link. Each server was public, and thus had 2 public IP addresses. This setup included VPN setup with fail-over, firewalls with gateway as routing key & alternatives routes setup, NAT for internal private networks, DMZs available over both links,etc... The whole thing was about setting up full redundancy for every server. There was a lot of problems building the whole thing up, but in the end, everything worked perfectly. I mean it. I currently have more than 30 Linux servers reachable through 2 dedicated lines, over 2 ISP, using 2 public distinct netblocks. Each server is linux-based, and does outgoing load-balancing in equalize mode. Incoming traffic load-balancing is done using standard round-robin DNS. Everything got filtered by firewalls. I have VPN fail-over setup using alternatives routes & dead gateway detection. For all of these, I would like to thanks you. Thank you for giving this wonderful toolkit to the Internet Community. Thank you for your time answering our questions, and finally for you help & assistance. I wouldn't have been able to build the whole thing up without you. Thank you also, for keeping my users off my back. :) I never doubted Linux was the best OS in the world. But now, I have a proof. I would especially like to thanks Julian Anastasov (your patches works just perfectly !), Arthur van Leeuwen and Dawid Kuroczko. Thanks again. Yours, Vincent Jaussaud. -- ######################################################## Kelkoo Security Manager / Networks & Systems Architect JID: portsentry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Office: +(33)04 7629 7163 / Mobile: +(33)06 806 409 62 ######################################################## Kelkoo.com --- GNU/Linux Powered. -- Vincent Jaussaud Kelkoo.com Security Manager email: tatooin@xxxxxxxxxx "The UNIX philosophy is to design small tools that do one thing, and do it well."
