Topic: 3 DSL feeds, 3 WAN NICS & 1 LAN... has it been done in S

[AusMounty]

I am presently studying to formalize my knowledge however I am curious if anyone has successfully configured multiple WAN interfaces in 1 SME server to date?

Scenario:

3 x 1.5 Mb ADSL connections
1 x SME Server/Gateway
1 x LAN interface (connecting to router)

Any ideas?

Not a trivial problem and can't be done on the SME AFAIK.  All the general solutions I know of are commercial.

These guys have a perfect solution I'm sure they'd be happy to sell you:

I do not understand the question completely.

Please specify a little bit bether. Is it a qestion of using 3 external conections on 1 sme gateway and then to use 1 lan connection so there is 4 network cards in the gateway ?

If not how meny network adapters should the sme gateway contain and what will be the job of each adapter ?

I think the main restriction on such a modification will be the number of networks adapters that can be fitted into the PC. There will also be some restrictions of how a such router can work.

Using the standard function of Linux it is possible to configure any number of routing / firewall functions that can be physically fitted into the PC box.

If it eventually should be a question of selecting between 3 internet connection used againd only one lan this should be not to difficult.

P.S. No, I don't work for Mikrotik. This link actually comes from Duncan who introduced me this great product!

Interesting .. I did not know abouit this product. According to the spec it is supported by the Linux kernel. It is not very expencive either ($95). I guess that this card extends the possible connections (nics) for a Linux firewall/gateway by a factor of four.
