[opensuse] SUSEfirewall2 with 2 ISP's: DSL & Cable
Hi all, I have 2 ISP's, an ADSL and a Cable. I want to set up an openSUSE 11.2 SUSEfirewall2 with 3 NIC's; 2 for the ISP's and 1 for the DMZ. How can I create a failover when one ISP falls out, and keep the SUSEfirewall2 active for both, or failover to the active NIC. How can a local webserver with dynamic IP be routed to a default ISP and NIC, but failover to the other if the default fails. The ADSL router provides Dynamic DNS login and update with the ISP's router, but the cable provider's router does not cater for such Dynamic DNS. Is it possible to have a load ballance between the ISP's, and that the one takes full load if the other fails, also then providing a failover as above. Any directions to tried and tested configs will be highly appreciated.

Simple questions, answers less so: http://lartc.org/howto/ What you're after is completely achieveable, even if somewhat complicated. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanx Per, as you say, slightly complicated - but the LARTC site will definitely have all the info I require; ... was hoping for a shorter How-To .. but it seems that there is no easy way out, than to get to know the basics and then look at these advanced issues. Linux forces self education. The opensource community provides the hints where to look. When I get stuck, I will ask some clarifying questions. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can do this with shorewall www.shorewall.net and search for multi isp. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
