It's getting better and better ;-)

I will have to refresh my perl memory, and read your developers guides.

Thanks. Wessel

Installation and Upgrades / Re: balance traffic on dhcp gateway

thanks!  I'm running the dhclient3 process on the background now, and it works perfect. But with the one you mentioned I can let it send notification if providers changes address and I need to modify my ebox config. (maybe ebox should have an API so that I configure it from remote scripts ;-)

btw: I now use ebox in production, and it works great! Good thing is that it's completely ubuntu packages based, so I can find/ add everything I need.

Installation and Upgrades / multigateway all traffic through one gateway, except some rules

« on: June 27, 2008, 01:35:50 am »

Hi,

In a multigateway situation I would like to configure the balance traffic that all traffic goes through one gateway, with some configured exceptions through the other.

How can I establish that? Does the default gateway do something here? Or should I use a very big weight on the preferred gateway?

Thanks, Wessel

Installation and Upgrades / balance traffic on dhcp gateway

« on: June 26, 2008, 09:56:20 am »

Hi,
I have a business sdsl line and a consumer cable line which I want to balance traffic on. But if I configure the consumer cable line with a static ip address (which was given to me when I had dhcp enabled first) this connection drops after a while. (ebox 0.11.101)

I have the feeling that my cable provider drops the connection in someway if there is no dhcp client listening. Or is that not possible?

But if I configure my line for dhcp I cannot configure a gateway because ebox restricts that (which does make sense of course, but just a 'are u sure' would have been better in my case)

I'm now considering of configuring it as static in ebox, and modify that after each restart/reload of ebox manually on the commandline to make a dhcp client listening. At least I can find out if my connection drops this way also (although it used to be stable when it was our only line)

Or are there better ways to solve/debug this?
