what i want to do is the reverse of what you are doing. Instead of taking on network connection and dividing it - i want to take 2 separate connections (for instance DSL and Cable) and merge them so that either one can access the same server. the trick with this is that when a connection in is made, it must also be the same path out. the link posted earlier should do the trick. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Crompton <doug@crompton.com> To: Philadelphia Linux User's Group Discussion List <plug@lists.phillylinux.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2007 9:28:12 PM GMT-0500 Subject: Re: [PLUG] networking question I am not sure what you are doing but I can describe what I do here. I have two static IP's over DSL. The line out of the DSL modem goes to a 4 way switch. I use 2 of the 4 ports. They go to indiviual Buffalo WAN/LAN routers. Each is assigned a (real) internet address supplied by my provider. On the lan side both are assigned 192.168.0.0 subnets. One port of each is connected together. Only one is setup for DHCP. The other is disabled. This gives me a single subnet on the lan side with access to two REAL internet IP addresses. You could add more routers if you need more addresses. They are cheap (and good!) about $40 each. Even have wireless but I turn that off and do not connect the antenna. Now you can setup port forwarding to whatever LAN connected machine you want. Both could go to the same machine, same port or different as desired. Machines on the lan can select the IP they want to use, assuming they are static IP'ed by selecting the default GW of the router to the IP address. This makes for a very flexible setup. If you have a server you can instantly transfer port to a new server by just editing a router table. No need to change anything on the computers. It has worked well for me.
