FreeBSD Webserver with two NICs X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 20:31:41 -0000 Hello Gurus.... I think you might help me.... I want to run a webserver which will be having a good traffic. At present, I have a 100/10 Mbps internet connection (fiber-optics) but with this connection I cannot get Fixed IP for the webserver. To get the Fixed-IP, I am getting a 24/1 Mbps internet line through Telephone line. But I am just in doubt that my webserver might not be able to server the documents with good serving speed due to 1 Mbps upstream... So, I came to an idea that if I use two NICs, one NIC bounded to 100/10 Mbps to serve the pages and one which would be bound with 24/1 Mbps connection with Fixed-IP to litsen the requests.... my Question is that is it possible and if so, how? I am planning to install FreeBSD as a OS. Thanks.... VJ
