This has nothing to do with netfilter/ipchains. Please read up on gateD (www.gated.org) or Zebra (www.zebra.org, recommended). Please be aware that configuring BGP is not for faint-hearted, and BGP does not win you anything if both your ethernet connections are to the same ISP. As I understand, you have one box colo'd at some ISP, and that ISP offers you a second ethernet jack? If so, its useless to have BGP or anything... -alex On Sat, 6 Jan 2001 linux-net@ddx.a2000.nu wrote: > I run a linux machine for routing/firewall > kernel is 2.2.18 with ipchains > now we want to have some failover for our internet connection > (we now have 1 ethernet connection with our isp (colocation)) > > The Colocation company offers us bgp4. > so we will get 2 ethernet connection to them > > First i hope this can be done with linux (we now only have some route and > ipchains lines in the startup script) > Can someone tell or point me to a howto, how to implement this ? > (Or can this be done better with netfilter(2.4 kernel) than ipchains (2.2 > kernel) > > > > > > - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
