I made a script that uses a simple conf file and allows quite a lot of work to be done in minutes. You can give it a chance even thought I guess you need a basic knowledge of what you are doing (eg: what 'ip rule' does): http://www.tksq.org/iprt2 There is also a man page with some examples I don't even know if other such script exists, so I'm not pretending this is any better that others. It is just wat fitted to my need. A nice option is to test links using tables to force packets to choose one particular link. In a way this allows for an easy script that tests the link/route (without a kernel patch) and takes decision in case the link is down. To achieve thi I use mangle feature (OUTPUT) + ip rule fwmark. I wrote to this list some days ago on this purpouse, becouse kernel does not always seem to understand wich ip should attach to the packets (this is my compehension, at least ;-). sandro *:-) -- Sandro Dentella *:-) e-mail: sandro@xxxxxxxx http://www.tksql.org TkSQL Home page - My GPL work _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
