3 NIC Auto failover/load balancing
« on: October 10, 2003, 03:57:12 PM »
I'm running SME 5.6 Update5 with portforwarding installed. This server act as a mail and web server and proxy at the same time. We have 2 ISP, I would like to setup this 2 ISP in my 1 SME box. This is the scenario I want.

LAN: NIC 1 (internal LAN)
ISP1: NIC 2 (Public IP of ISP1)
ISP2: NIC 3 (Public IP of ISP2)

ISP1 will handle the email and web request - POSSIBLE - running now..
ISP2 will handle the proxy request from internal client - Is this Possible?

When ISP2 is down ISP1 will handle the proxy request of the clients - Is this possible.

We are using IBM X-Series Server with SME RAID.

Please advise what is the best tools for this setup...

Thanks

Mike
