Your switch should also support this, preferably. -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of M. A. Imam Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2005 7:39 PM To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: sending packet in round robin... Hello list, Can anyone tell me if i can route packets from two interfaces in Round Robin fashion. here is the scenario. i have two linux machines with two ethernet cards each. i do an ftp from machine1(client) to request a file from machine2(server). i can do this on either links separately. what i want is to that machine2 when sends an ftp packet, it send it in around robin fashion. that is it sends one packet from one interface and the second packet from the second interface.How can i achieve this. Can i use two default routes... or may some kind of iptables... appreciate an early response Muhammad A Imam
