Official RH kernel documents, and load balancing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi:

I have an 'advanced-networking' problem. I want to have two interfaces to
the internet, apart from the internal one to the LAN.

I came across this page:
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multipl
e-links.html


and Julian's patches for the kernel published here:
http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/
and the How-to: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt


So, I downloaded the patch:

routes-2.4.22-9.diff (December 14, 2001), and applied it to my 2.4 kernel...


The kernel re-compile part was fine, following the instructions in :

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/


The issue is when I have to create a new initrd file.. it appears to create
a vmlinuz, not a bzImage as the kernel-howto document says.


And the new kernel does not boot...


Questions:

Have anyone done this?

I mean, having two connections to the Internet, using RH8.0 or RH 9.0, and
having them selecting (balancing) which interface to use to send packets
out, and receiving in either seamlessly and with NAT ?

I think this functionality should be built in and available, instead of
having to patch the kernel?

What would you guys recommend?


As for the initrd part, any suggestions? Is there an official RedHat
re-build kernel document?



Thanks before-hand,

Carlos
