Hello there, i have a very special case about load balancing...
Here is my setup:
________
+------------+ /
| | |
+-------------+ ADSL ROUTER+-------
__ | | | /
___/ \_ +------+-------+ +------------+ |
_/ \__ | if1 | /
/ \ | | |
| Local network -----+ Linux router | | Internet
\_ __/ | | |
\__ __/ | if2 | \
\___/ +------+-------+ +------------+ |
| | | \
+-------------+ADSL ROUTER +-------
| | |
+------------+ \________
My load balancing is working great right now, but I have my dsl routers
acting as multiple-users access, and hence doing NAT. Since my Linux is also
doing NAT I want to connect the DSL routers acting as single-users and hence
avoid doing NAT two times per connection.
What I have to do, is change the public address on my dsl router as a mix of
the mask and the actual public address, and assign the public ip to IF1 ( or
IF2 in each case)
The problem comes when, my public address is:
IP1: XXX.XXX.XXX.1
IP2: same but ending in .2
MASK 255.255.255.0
To get the new local address for the router, y have to do the following:
(1 AND 0) +1 for router1
and (2 AND 0) +1 for router2.
And I have the next problem:
Both routers will have the same IP ADDRESS, and hence they will both be on
the same network.
When y set up my load balancing a year ago, I red somewhere both connections
have to be under different networks, is that right?
Will load balancing know which interface has to use for each connection??
Can I set up my dsl routers the way I want them to work??
Has any body done that???
Thank you!!
