Dear List! I am a system administrator at an IT company. We have recently subscribed to a PPPoE Internet connection besides the one we are currently using. I thought it would be a good idea to use them in parallel, as described in the LARTC HOWTO (http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html). I have set up the two pppoe connections as described there and created the following two rules in my iptables setup: -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp1 -j MASQUERADE It worked more or less. In most cases the HTTP downloads were faster, however, we had strange experiences. Sometimes SSH didn't seem to work at all. SSH client asked for a password, but after that it hanged. FTP never worked, but I have a thought that it won't ever work because of that it uses two ports (control, data), and my links are weighted 1 - 1. Important versions: Linux 2.6.17.11-grsec iproute2-ss041019 iptables v1.3.5 Could you please tell me if I did anything wrong? Please answer to the sender address, I am not on the list. Thanks in advance. Fülöp Balázs
