I have two cable modem connections coming into my
home office and have a dsl line on the way. Currently one of the cable
lines is connected to a single machine which is not on the lan. What I'd
like to do, especially when the dsl comes in is to set up a box with lrp to
share all three broadband connections with the lan and have a separate dmz
network setup for a box I can get to from the outside world. I'd also like
to do some sort of rudimentary load balancing (round robin would
suffice.)
I have an old Pentim (166Mhz I believe) with 20MB
of RAM and three ISA slots that I'd like to use for this. (assuming I can
get an ISA multiport card). This brings me to question 1) Will this box be
able to handle that many interfaces (only 3-4 users and no public servers
running)?
Failing that I have a PII 300 with 64MB and 5 PCI
slots I can use in a pinch...
Second question: How hard is it to configure
lrp for this type of setup? What distributions do you all recommend and
how do I go about burning my setup to a ROM (I don't want a hard disk in
whatever box I set this up on.)?
Thanks in advance!
Steve
