Re: [FW-1] 2 internet links on 1 firewall



Hi Yannick

I think that's bacause you can not distinguish your traffic on the
destination adress (legacy routing, as all towards Internet) you might
consider using the source adress. Therefore you need routing for the
following rules:

+ If S=y then Default_route_next_hop=Y
else Default_route_next_hop=X

This is called POLICY ROUTING.

In LINUX thats no problem: See:
http://www.samag.com/documents/s=1169/sam0001f/0001f.htm

Hmm, In Solaris, I dont know; never did this. YOu might need a package
called ipf. See: http://false.net/ipfilter/1999_01/0035.html

Hope this helps a bit; pls let me know how you solved your problem.
Michael

P.S: If you want real load balancing & have heaps of money have a look at
RAD Linkproof.
