Hi: I have an 'advanced-networking' problem. I want to have two interfaces to the internet, apart from the internal one to the LAN. I came across this page: http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html and Julian's patches for the kernel published here: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/ and the How-to: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt So, I downloaded the patch: routes-2.4.22-9.diff (December 14, 2001), and applied it to my 2.4
kernel... The kernel re-compile part was fine, following the instructions in : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/ The issue is when I have to create a new initrd file.. it appears to
create a vmlinuz, not a bzImage as the kernel-howto document says. So the new kernel does not boot... Questions: Have anyone done this? I mean, having two connections to the Internet, using RH8.0 or RH 9.0,
and having them selecting (balancing) which interface to use to send packets out, and receiving in either seamlessly and with NAT ? I think this functionality should be built in and available, instead of having to patch the kernel? What would you guys recommend? As for the initrd part, any suggestions? Is there an official RedHat "re-build kernel" document? Thanks before-hand, Carlos |
