Hi all, If I have two internet service providers, and I intend to setup a linux box (with 3 network cards called internal_nic, WAN_nic01 and WAN_nic02) to balance the lad between these 2 ISP. How can I do that? Have anyone done that before? Please advise me the steps and the services neeeds to be installed.
Kernel patches needed for load balancing Just a note that this solution works fine for a single machine, but if you are using load balancing on a gateway/router that is NAT-ing multiple machines, then you will need to build a custom kernel using the patches located at http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/. Otherwise you will experience packet loss and hung connections from the NAT-ed machines.
