Hi, I am having problems getting load sharing working. It works for a few minutes, then gives up.
I have dual PPPoA lines. ATM is terminated remotely using PPTP. Hence as far as linux is concerned it is simply originating two ppp devices (ppp0 and ppp1), both with static local IP addresses, but with remote gateways that might change each time the link comes up. At first I thought perhaps it was load sharing DNS requests over the wrong link. Hence after the local DNS cache was old it would re-query but would try to contact the DNS peer at ISP1 over ISP2's ppp link, which I suspect boths ISPs would block. I added configuration to prevent this but this did not help. The OS is Linux/Ubuntu 10.04 with a custom kernel with CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHE=n as per the instructions. Shorewall is version 4.4.6. The box has two ethernet devices, eth0 and eth1 with users on both with local networks 192.168.4.0/24 and 192.168.7.0/24 respectively. A single link works fine if I remove the tcrules and providers files. Thanks, Jason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
