I have two DSL lines which each have a different gateway and use a different static IP address. I have both lines multiplexed onto the same wire using a switch and cross-over cables, but I only connect to one DSL line at a time on the ethernet card in my Debian box. Sometimes one of the DSL lines will go down and I want to switch to the other one, so I just swap in a different /etc/network/interfaces file:
cp /etc/network/interfaces.dsl2 /etc/network/interfaces ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 It seems to me there must be a better way to utilize the two DSL lines. But I'm not sure where to start looking. The ultimate would be to utilize the bandwidth of both lines simultaneously to simulate one bigger bandwidth line, but I imagine this will be difficult to set up. The next best thing would be to have outgoing packets try the first gateway, and if that fails, automatically try the second gateway. But I'm not sure how to even begin to configure this. I'd appreciate any suggestions on where I should start reading? -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
