Hi, I would like to understand the "multi-isp" abilities of Shorewall. I noticed that some posts regarding multiple ISP's talk about a proxy server - is this a typical http proxy web server, or is this a different meaning of the term "proxy"?
Is an http proxy server really necessary for this to work, or can shorewall just load balance: "if load on circuit A reaches threshold X open all new connections on Circuit B"? The scenario is: We have a 3 megabit dual T1 as our main internet connection. We also have a 3megabit DSL line that was just installed in case our T1 goes down for some reason (not yet connected to our network). It would be nice to have that extra bandwidth available to the LAN for downloads of large files, or days when internet usage peaks (so far, we really haven't had any, but our network is growing) Thanks, Joel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
