One possible method of balancing 2 lines would be to do this i think: Have 3 boxes in all. Box 1 runs squid and receives the requests for pages from the workstations. It then has boxes 2 and 3 set up as round-robin parents (http://www1.gr.squid-cache.org/Doc/Hierarchy-Tutorial/tutorial- 5.html#ss5.10) so will forward requests to them equally. Boxes 2 + 3 have two network cards, one on the same subnet as box 1, and then one on the ADSL (box 2 on adsl line 1 and box 3 on adsl line 2). They will be used equally as box 1 will be fair in its round-robin so both lines will be used equally. I hope this is clear enough - I'm confusing myself writing it but I think you get the gist of it. Hope this helps, Alex Brett alex.brett@brettcomputers.co.uk On 20 May 2003 at 14:33, Chris Davies wrote:
We have and ADSL link via Easynet. I'd like to increase our bandwidth further. This leads to 2 questions in my mind:
Should I use a different ISP?
How can I configure one proxy server to balance use of 2 adsl lines?
Any comments or ideas, please.
