Greetings. I know the topic of load balancing has been brought up before and I have read the HOWTO on this topic but am still somewhat in the dark. I am not a programmer and have almost no knowledge of Perl but am fairly familiar with LRP and Linux in general. Here is what I am trying to accomplish...I have several sites configured with both DSL and Cable internet access. I would like to use one of these services to back up the other in the event of a failure. My application is a VPN connection between these sites and our central site. The actual VPN will be configured separate from the router likely using some form of appliance. My thinking is to use a LRP configured box with 3 nics and some sort of script to periodically check the health of the links and make a decision on which interface to route the traffic. I am sure others have already been down this path and would prefer to not have to reinvent the wheel :-) If anyone out there has done this and has any scripts and/or suggestions they would be willing to share, I would be grateful.
