I am sorry about my previous email, it was a bit off a mess... Let me explain my self, I have my dsl routers working doing nat, and I want to set them up as a bridge but doing load balancing. My public ip addresses are : XXX.XXX.XXX.1 for dsl 1 and the same ending in .2 for dsl 2 Since I have to put the ip public address on the linux Ethernet cards, and they both have the same netmask address, will loadbalancing work? I red somewhere they have to be in different subnets in order to work Am I right? Can I set them as bridge mode? -----Mensaje original----- De: Damion de Soto [mailto:damion@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Enviado el: lunes, 31 de mayo de 2004 2:34 Para: GoMi CC: lartc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Asunto: Re: Odd question about load balancing Hello GoMi, > Hello there, i have a very special case about load balancing... ---snip---- > And I have the next problem: > Both routers will have the same IP ADDRESS, and hence they will both be on > the same network. I didn't really understand what you were writing about there.... but don't you just want to put your DSL routers into some type of 'bridging' mode, and then configure the IP addresses on your linux router ? (you may have to run PPPoE or something on the linux interfaces). > 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?? Unless your ISP(s) is doing incredibly tricky things with routing, you can't have 2 devices on the Internet with the same real IP address. > Can I set up my dsl routers the way I want them to work?? > Has any body done that??? I still don't really understand what's different between your setup and all the other people who have 2 DSL connections to the internet.
