Greetings all, Running opensuse 11.2 64b. I am trying to set up a multihomed network. Two nic cards, two dsl ISP services and two routers. It does not look like I can do this with yast. Eth0 works fine but I cannot get anything working with eth1. I want to load balance and increase throughput. I don't think bonding is the way to go. What is the preferred way to set this up? I found several suggestions by googling but none addressed what I wanted to do exactly. router A is 192.168.10.1 + DHCP enabled router B is 192.168.11.1 + DHCP enabled Below is the output of netstat.
