Re: Load Balancing/multihoming/bonding/3 Nics
said by Neo321  :To All :: You might think that a pc wont support coz of power failure and system resources, so let me tell you one thing that after implementing all this, I ll start my linux system in shell mode(without any graphics), and in shell mode, even a PIII can serve whole of my network without any problem. I am already using my system as a server for my whole network, but this time I want to merge all my input lines. So guys, there are no limitation for my target, just think abt it , and make it possible.... OK, it's still fairly early, so I may have taken the bolded text out of context, but you're reaaaally out of line. You don't come here and make demands. Period.
Second, members here are offering perfectly sound suggestions. It seems, though, that you haven't explained what you're trying to do in a clear manner.
Are you trying to use your server also as a firewall? If so, bad idea. Yeah, several Linux-based firewalls allow this, but a firewall is for network protection, not doing the dishes too. Let it serve it's dedicated purpose.
Are you trying have one server use multiple ISP's as fail over and load balancing all by itself?
I suggested PFsense because you can do load-balancing and failover with it. It will need to be used on a dedicated computer, but you can either add multiple NIC's to it to connect to different ISP's, or using a managed switch with VLAN capability, you can use 2 NICs, with one interface being the LAN and VLAN interfaces all facing the WAN.
With all the info give, now YOU can make it possible.
EDIT - I meant PFsense.

Yes, I have to implement it at any cost... hardware isnt a solution as I have seen only quad-wan supporting router.
So a software based solution is the right choice, as it ll support any number of ISPs.
To DaSneaky1D ::
Maybe I havnt explained it properly, coz I am a bit confused with terms like bonding, multihoming, etc... and all.
basically, in one line what I want is,
A computer which can act as a multi-wan router
I have found some software for this like pfsense, and clarkconnect.
I ll also take a look at ipsense too.
Thanks... | |
