Do I need any patches for setting up load balancing between 2 uplinks? I don't need NAT, I just have a squid proxy server and on the same linux rh9 computer I have 2 uplinks (adsl+cable modem) and all I want is squid to use load balancing on these links. I have kernel 2.4.21 now and I have done the setup for load balancing, even put the "equalize" switch in the command to add default route and it works and sometimes does not, routes stay in cache and if a try www.google.com 2 or 3 times I see that it goes out on the same interface as the first time. If I try more addresses, eventually some will go out on the second interface but it seems to me that the equlize flag doen't work if it does this, right? Or maybe I need a patch or something for squid? Or maybe I need to enable/disable some specific config option in squid.conf ? (I didn't enable tcp_outgoing_address in squid conf so it's free to go out on any interface) I don't need connection based balancing.... (one address going trough eth1 and another trough eth2, but packed balancing.. first packet trough eth1, second trough eth2... that's why I have the equalize flag set but....) Maybe I'm missing something... Thanks for help. Alex btw, on lartc.org in the howto at split access section there is a mention about "Reader Rod Roark notes: 'If $P0_NET is the local network and $IF0 is its interface, the following additional entries are desirable: ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 table T1 ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 table T1 ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T1 ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 table T2 ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 table T2 ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T2 Do I need these entries if I don't use NAT ? _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
