To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 13 Oct 1995 08:23:38 -1000 Subject: load balancing ppp Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.01) Message-ID: <4F9EC7D65A1@aidan.staidan.qld.edu.au> Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I am running 2.0.5R on a DX4 100 APTIVA with 16mb as a httpd proxy server & ip gateway in a school. Our connection to the net is across a ppp line on a netcom M11F. At the moment only staff have access to the net, so load levels are OK. Next year we will allow student access so there will be a potential for about 100 concurrent users. If I just add another ppp interface & modem to our ISP will freebsd perform some sort of load balancing between the two? I know that this won't be enough for 100 net-mad school kids, but it would be better! Does anyone have any other options? ISDN is VERY expensive here in Australia, thousands of dollars per month, and more than we can afford. Thanks in advance, Peter Peter Stubbs, St Aidan's AGS. ph +61 07 3379 9911, fax +61 07 3379 9432
