Well, it won't work, and probably is some kind of error with a kernel patch. My last test was using the method explained here http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt As it didn't work out, I tried the same method using a fresh Debian install, with a stock kernel without patches or anything else....it work out just out the box. The only difference between my try of linux router and a fresh installed Debian box is the kernel it uses. Kernel used in Linux-router: 2.6.23.17 Patches: IMQ www.linuximq.net Combination routing patch www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt Layer 7 http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net Load balance work: NO ----------------------------------------------------------- Kernel in fresh Debian install: stock kernel 2.6.18-5-686 Patches: NONE Load balance work: YES If someone have similar kernel using those patches, or at least the combination patch, with a working load balance, I'll be glad to ear about how you did it (and invite you a beer if you ever come to where I live). Until then. I'll start trying one patch at time (and applying separated patches from the combinations one) and see what can I do. Thanks to all, specially to Mark Perry for his time and extra pair of eyes 8) Cheers Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
