more than 1 ISP
Hi,
My ISP gives me a speed of 48kbps maximum (actually 64kbps is promised but it never goes about 48). For a month or 2 we are taking one more connection of 48kbps from another ISP (actually a nearby company) for uploading data to our client's computer.
Can I terminate it in my Linux box (which is the gateway) and for few of my windows clients make that IP my default gateway or is lartc needed here?
I don't mind if even FTP protocol passes through the other link and the first one is used for browsing and mails.
I need a simple solution to this and lartc was becoming too complex.
Any ideas anyone?
With warm regards,
-Payal

sure, that's called multihosting. it's doable, all you need is to make your internal DHCP server hand out the appropriate default gateway address fro each machine

You can use the iproute2 command "ip" with the parameter nexthop to use the 2 ISPs.
