Hi, A friend of mine asked me if the following was possible A FreeBSD box has multiple analog modems [56K], each of these modems is dialed-up to a different ISP. The BSD box also acts as a gateway to a LAN of Windoze boxen. For redundancy purposes, my friend would like the gateway to switch to a different ISP automatically should anyone analog link break down [poor man's multi-homing/BGP ?] Is this possible, any recipes or war stories from people who have done this. If there is a hardware appliance which one buys and can do this stuff. Pointers to that would also be appreciated Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
