In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19971101221516.00d177b0@haktar.siol.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk This is more of a general ISP question (doesn't have anything to do with FreeBSD), in the future you might want to ask this on a more general list, such as: IAP@VMA.CC.ND.EDU.. I think the listserver is at listserv@vma.cc.nd.edu. To answer your question.. Take a very quick look at uhf.wireless.net DO IT NOW, because I'll be changing the DNS in a few hours - uhf and I are moving to Dallas and wireless.wdc.net will be taking over uhf.wireless.net services, so if I update the DNS it will only point to it's new (temporary) home. Do: nslookup, set type=any, uhf.wireless.net), and you'll see that uhf is using two addresses from two different ISPs.. This is through a private tunneling arrangement and works fine.. Under FreeBSD telnet, it even works so well that when one address times out or is unreachable it goes to the other ip address.
