OK, I spammed the mailing list recently, but I will be fired if I can't solve the problem today. (just kidding, but I did waste lots of time on it :( ) The common configuration for teql is for two computers connected directly with two links. My topology is a little different: one link is connected directly, but the other is connected through a gateway. My problem is teql can't send packets through both links at the same time. When I don't configure a gateway for teql0 in the routing table, all packets go to the direct link; when I do add the gateway, all packets go to the link with the gateway. It seems to me that the problem is that when packets are forwarded by the teql0 interface to each local Ethernet cards, the routing is still based on the routing entry for the teql0 IP address in the routing table, instead of being based on the IP of the local Ethernet interface that packets are passed to. Since I can't both specify the gateway address and not specify at the same time, there is only one link that teql finds working and pass packets to at each time. In the common case when both links are directly connected, there is no such problem (I tried two directed links, and teql just works). Am I correct? Is there any way to solve the problem, besides changing the gateway to a bridge? (If it's not true, there must be something wrong with my routing tables. One thing that I am not sure if it's OK is that I put teql0 and eth1 into the same subnet.) Thanks a lot! -Ji _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
