I am running kernel 2.6.5, gentoo linux...julian's routes-2.6.4-10 installed eth0 = local eth1 = cable modem eth2 = T1 I am having issues with the machine actually sending packets out over each hop, it tends to default to eth2, almost never will it use eth1- I can make a rule to send traffic through the eth1 from certain hosts, and it will force the IP through that interface, but general traffic is defaulted through eth2 Also I have implemented a redundancy script (which pings each interface, as listed in the docs) and it will not flag the down interface as dead...any ideas? # ip route show 67.106.221.0/29 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 67.106.221.4 10.1.10.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.10.239 24.98.192.0/22 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 24.98.192.221 127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link default proto static nexthop via 67.106.221.4 dev eth2 weight 1 nexthop via 24.98.192.221 dev eth1 weight 5 # ip rule show 0: from all lookup local 10: from all lookup main 100: from 10.1.10.0/16 lookup 100 32764: from 24.98.192.221 lookup T2 32765: from 67.106.221.4 lookup T1 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default #ip route get 66.218.71.114 66.218.71.114 dev eth2 src 67.106.221.4 cache mtu 1500 advmss 1460 every IP I try to get, goes through eth2....any ideas?? _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
