I am running redhat9 in my gateway machine. Presently i have a DSL connection which is working all right. Now i have got one more connection for backup. What i want to do is to use both effectively. The goal is to use both of them in parallel. So i dont have to worry if one goes down(the other connection should handle all requests). I have got one more NIC card in the system and tried to configure it. But failed. As i configured the new nic with the static ip given by new isp it sets the new isps gateway as default and i couldn't able to connect neither of them Present config eth0 --> ip by isp1 eth1 --> internal ip tried with eth2 --> ip by isp2 restart network route -rn --> shows isp2's gateway as default gateway. Googled and found many things that weren't relevent for me. Some were dead ends. I think i am searching in wrong places. i understand i have to use iproute2 or routed daemon. can someone shed some light on it? Thanks for any pointers. -- Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft.
