I'm setting up a machine with 4 ADSL lines connected to the same nic via a
switch. I'm not sure this is `supported´ or if I should add the 3 extra nics
it `should´ have.
No idea what it is that you are trying to accomplish. By switch, do you
mean a physical rotary type switch, or an ethernet switch.
The adsl lines I assume come into modems. Then you have an ethernet
connection from the modem to the "switch". Why? Why would you want 4 ADSL
lines? How are you going to route them?
yes, it's an ethernet switch. the four adsl lines will be connected to one
machine and used in a load balancing scheme, but that? another story. we're
connecting the 4 lines to one nic due to hardware limitations.
Then are you running pppoe on those lines? Is that what the relationship to
ppp is?
I need to run pppoe on these lines to get the service.
Not surprising you cannot do proxyarp. The machines MUST be on the same
subnet to do proxyarp.
it's not my problem. I should have ommited that line.
I'm starting to think that those are configure-acks `routed´ to the wrong
pppd, because if I bring up one line at a time, all establish the connection
succesfully. I just wanted to make sure I was reaching to the correct
conclusion.
also, would it be possible to make pppd abort if too much bad
configure-acks? since I'm the one with the problem, I'm interested
in hacking
Why? especially since it eventually works?
it works *sometimes*.
that. do you think it does any sense, or should I stop doing stupid
things and
put one nic per ADSL line?
If you are paid more than 10 cents per hour, that would probably be cheaper.
not everything is money. now I'm plain wondering if this could work or not.
