Networking challange!
Feb. 21st, 2008 12:25 amOkay folks, I have an advanced routing challange for you!
What I have:
1 Comcast Cable connection. Superfast (tests at about 18mbit with a 100MB file) but they have usage restrictions.
1 AT&T DSL connection. I can use this to my heart's content, but its only 1.5mbit.
1 Routing computer. 2Ghz P4, 1GB RAM, 1 port internal NIC, 4 port external NIC, 80GB HDD. Runs VMWare Server just fine, so VM voodoo is an option.
What I need:
I want the Comcast line to be the primary connectivity for the house. If in doubt, traffic should go over this line. HOWEVER. I'd like to direct specific traffic though the DSL line, things like bittorrent traffic, for instance. Most, but not all of the various DSL worthy programs will use various proxy connections.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? When we were running four DSL lines, I just ran four VMs, each running a Smoothwall installation. If I can simplify this into a single OS install, I'd like to. Or if I can do this with IPTables voodoo.
Okay ideas! Discuss!
