Title: 3 NIC on SME
Post by: Mike Pascual on October 14, 2003, 07:09:25 AM

Just to follow up... i really need this... thanks

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

2 internal networks and 1 external to your ISP would be a nice one too.
I know that 1 of my friends is looking for that solution on SME and if it was possible than I know I would use it too to have more security.
More like is used on firewalls.
www.netboz.net is one of those too.

Thanks Mike,  I'm just wondering if it is supported by SME. May be in the next release...

Thanks again

You have probably already thought of this, but have you tried a second server...?
