Hi, I've managed to create a web based interface to some of the advanced routing capabilities in Linux. Currently it is functional (and pretty, i think :) although far from perfect. I'm looking for people with better programming skills and/or understandings of advanced routing concepts in Linux than I have who'd like to help out with the project. The overall goals are: #1 to make advanced routing and traffic shaping very easy for those just getting started #2 allow admins to easily backup or restore multiple versions of an entire linux router's configuration (fw, routing, traffic shaping, interface settings etc) via a single text file, much like a cisco router #3 make it all pretty enough that the nontechnical CIO types say "wow" and let us use linux routers in production more often. The current system is a collection of perl CGI scripts and a background process that keeps an eye on things. It supports high availability via the heartbeat project and uses Julian Anastasov's kernel patches to support load balanced routing with dead gateway detection. The background process can start a dialup connection if all other connections have failed. rrdtool is used to generate lots of pretty graphs locally, and the system supports snmp and zabbix remote monitoring. If you're interested (and especially if you'd like to help!) please check out the project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdtrg/ thanks -Aaron _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
