Thnx Snitt (a lot) I would like to avoid that (buying external additional hw). Also we would like to preserve the public IPs on the Linux box. I know it would be very tricky to make it work the way i want it but that would be the nicest thing to do... why? because all real IPs would be on the Linux box (not behind a NAT box, behind NAT would be simple to achieve). Developers please... This is my problem: lan -- eth0 linux eth1 (ip1) --- dsl1 (gw ip3) eth2 (ip2) --- dsl2 (gw ip3) It really does no matters to me now to do "a good outgoing balancing", i would be happy just to make it work without the need of external natting. Impossible ?
