hello i have slackware installed and i have two internet connections , ADSL(2,5mbps) + CableModem(1mbps) i want to share the connections in a small network NAT for the ADSL connection, and a proxy server for the cablemodem connection i searched all over the internet (probably not where i was supposed to) but i could'n find a solution if someone could give me a tip i would really appreciate it
The simplest solution would be to use two systems, one connected to the Cable Modem and running proxy server on it and the other one connected to ADSL connection and with packet forwarding enabled and iptables rules for the NAT and forwarding the traffic. The first system can be specified in the proxy server settings and the IP of the second system can be specified as the gateway for the clients. You can also configure the squid proxy server to act as a transparent proxy and redirect the outgoing port 80 traffic through it using iptables rules on the gateway. If you want to use a single system as the gateway and proxy server, you can configure it to use multiple gateways and divide the outgoing traffic where the web traffic (and ftp, if desired) is routed through the Cable Modem and the rest through the ADSL connection. You can also specify the outgoing tcp address in squid proxy server configuration. Please also see the LARTC How To and the documentation for ip tool. -- Manish Kathuria Tux Technologies http://www.tuxtechnologies.co.in/ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
