multihomed, multirouted and balanced FreeBSD??
A friend of mine wants to exchange their's multi-homed linux box for a new FBSD one. The defy: 4 nic - 3 pointing to ADSL linkz (fixed ip), last one pointing to internal lan. Questions: Is it possible to have so many nic in a single FreeBSD box? How to enable 3 different routes there?? As far as I understood the original question, people there do not want a 'default' route - they will preffer some thing like 'automagic' routing: the available one will be the one for the (internal) box, if it is possible. Something like 'less-costing' path?? Hmm.. Can you please point me to the right white papers, how-to, recipes, hands-on, on the subject?? saudações, irado furioso com tudo linux user 179402 deus é construído à imagem e semelhança do homem.

You have cram lots of nics in almost any operating system and have multiple interfaces. How to enable 3 different routes there?? Use a dynamic routing protocol rip,ripng,ospf, bgp. As far as I understood the original question, people there do not want a 'default' route read up on the above dynamic routing protocols. Cisco has some good books on BGP and OSPF as well as many online documents. You can use zebra for similar routing on FreeBSD (www.zebra.org) ---Mike Mike Tancsa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network.
