Most large providers require that you register your multihomed capacity on a list. Otherwise traffic won't know to come in on a particular interface or that it can go either way. I must admit I'm going from memory here. I used to work at an ISP about 5 years ago. At that time we went from a T3 with UUNET to a multihomed setup with verio and uunet. It was rather odd actually.. 3 t1s connected us to our modem banks at the telco and then we had an ethernet connection to verio's pipe, plus the T3 in our main office. Anyway, verio required us to get on this list. They told us that most large ISPs use it for routing. I suspect you will need static ips with the cable provider to pull it off as well. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Eric Crist Sent: Saturday, August 14, 2004 11:55 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Dual Homing Networks with DSL and Cable Hey all, I'm thinking about getting both DSL and Cable at home. I've currently got DSL with static Ips and I host servers. I would like to setup a dual-homed system, so I could utilize both download bandwidths. How should I best go about this, and does my desired setup make sense?
