I'm running Eiger 1.5 (haven't had the time or need to go to something newer - maybe I'll be forced to now!) with FreeS/WAN on a static wireless connection to my ISP. I've now been provided a second WAN connection via ADSL with another ISP. I would like to combine them to share the load, but realistically I think this will be difficult to impossible with FreeS/WAN in the equation. Perhaps even without it.
I think Charles was contemplating this idea a while back - don't know if he came up with any solutions... So, given that load sharing might be too difficult, I thought I would simply add the second IP to eth0, as the ADSL is to be static. Oops, just found out they assign the 'static' address with dhcp! So, the question becomes... Can or how do I tell eth0 to get a 'dynamic' address, but also use a static second address? In conversations with the local linux people, the suggestion was to assign the dhcp address first, then alias the static one afterward. The reverse seemed unreasonable (?). Any comments as to what/how to edit to achieve this? I can change FreeS/WAN manually if need be, when the 'default' connection fails. Thanks, R Brock Nanson, P.Eng.
