Current setup: freebsd 7.0 machine, one local IP address, runs web, mail, and name server. static ip address in router. I have two DNS servers registered, but they both point to the same ip address an the same machine. (Yes, I should have my fingers slapped.) Desired setup same machine, one local IP address, runs web, mail, and name server. different router (Linksys RV082) with 2 static ip address. How do I set up bind so that 1) bandwidth is shared between the two connections, and 2) if one goes down, the other keeps working. I had a few ideas, but they all seem to have flaws. feel free to answer with links or search keywords. Also, as this question isn't exactly a FreeBSD question, is there a better list for this? Thanks Ray
