Hi,
is there a preferred way to do ethernet load balancing? My situation is - 2
cable modems connected to two ethernet cards on with a machine functioning
as a NAT gateway for LAN. I tried netgraph (ng_ether with round robin and
ng_fec). With ng_ether, I achieved packets being sent via one interface and
received on another one(not what I want), ng_fec didn't work at all (it just
silently dropped all outgoing packets).
Is there another way? I already did this with linux (by using bond.c
similiar to ng_fec) and it worked under the same conditions.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Zviratko
