Hi there,
I have an unusual question, and hope I'll find the answer on this list. I
would like to build a redundant structure of firewalls (2 of them), and I
really don't have any idea on how to do that. What I would like is a
scheme like:
_________ ____________
provider's link ----------| hub |__________| |
|_______|\_ _____| FreeBSD fw1|---- switch1
\_/ |____________|
________ _/ \_ _____________
provider's backup link ---| hub2 |/ \___| |
|_______|__________| FreeBSD fw2|---- switch2
|____________|
But the real question is: how do I assign the same IP address to two
interfaces connected to the same hub(s) or switch(es)? I guess this will
provide the best redundancy. Any such software? If not, could you describe
an alternative for it, or point me to some resources?
Thank you,
bogdan
