hello
i have slackware installed and i have two internet connections ,
ADSL(2,5mbps) + CableModem(1mbps)
i want to share the connections in a small network
NAT for the ADSL connection, and a proxy server for the cablemodem
connection
i searched all over the internet (probably not where i was supposed to)
but i could'n find a solution
if someone could give me a tip i would really appreciate it
The simplest solution would be to use two systems, one connected to
the Cable Modem and running proxy server on it and the other one
connected to ADSL connection and with packet forwarding enabled and
iptables rules for the NAT and forwarding the traffic. The first
system can be specified in the proxy server settings and the IP of the
second system can be specified as the gateway for the clients. You can
also configure the squid proxy server to act as a transparent proxy
and redirect the outgoing port 80 traffic through it using iptables
rules on the gateway.
If you want to use a single system as the gateway and proxy server,
you can configure it to use multiple gateways and divide the outgoing
traffic where the web traffic (and ftp, if desired) is routed through
the Cable Modem and the rest through the ADSL connection. You can also
specify the outgoing tcp address in squid proxy server configuration.
Please also see the LARTC How To and the documentation for ip tool.
