Hello, My name is Xisco, and I am from an Island in Spain called
Mallorca, I am part of a group of people that have a place with a lot of
computers and, of course, a linux server managing connections to the
internet.
We have a server with 5 ethernets like this:
eth0 --> Cable Router (gateway) (300Kbps)
eth1 --> Cable Modem (public Internet address) (300Kbps)
eth2 --> Cable Router (gateway) (512Kbps)
eth3 --> Cable Router (gateway) (256Kbps)
eth4 --> LAN (100Mbps)
I already have done some load balancing using fwmark and the ip command.
Using the eql modifier in ip, balances quite well lot of connections to
differents IP addresses, but when I try to load balance one specific
service like connecting to a FTP server, as it has de same destination
IP, all the connections goes through the same Internet access, and I'd
like to balance it in a Round Robin way trough all the interfaces.
Basically I want to open 4 connections to a single ftp server in the
internet, and I want that each connection goes through a different
internet access.
I don't know if that's possible, but as I read some Webs talking about
TCP load balance in a RR way, I supposed it could be possible, but
there's no clear info about that.
Thanks in advance.
Xisco.
