We have two PPP links to our Internet Access POP, one of which is intended to carry our normal traffic, and the other of which is supposed to carry our web proxy traffic. Both links connect to the same remote server, with the same IP address - this can cause duplicate routes to the remote host, but that shouldn't be a problem. We try to guide the proxy traffic down our secondary link with a host route at our end, and we intend it to come back down secondary link from the remote proxy by giving the secondary PPP interface a unique IP address (i.e. different from the IP address given to our end of our primary link). However, we can no longer (due to unknown circumstances) transmit packets across our secondary link - ifconfig reports that any incoming packets are being dropped as "error" packets. Outgoing packets flash as transmitted on our modem, but they never seem to arrive at the other end (as far as we can tell). If we connect only our primary link from our linux server, and then sue a Win 95 box to dial into the secondary link, we can then ping the Win 95 box from the server, via both links. We had this setup working, and cannot identify any changes that could have caused it to cease working. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how we can fix this problem, or as to the technically correct way to use two PPP links between a pair of servers to achieve what we want (without using tricks like EQL load balancing)?
