Well if you want to implement load balancing on Linux then I would suggest just make your Linux router handle the request and the other 2 machines on which the actual requested data is, keep them on the internal network. The application on your Linux router machine should decide on which server the request should go.

Hi Sachin, Well since you are trying load balancing on Linux, I would suggest you to have a look at www.ultramonkey.org. Its a good high availability and load balancing solutions for Linux. The documentation is really good. We are doing some R&D on it and it seems to be working very well. Regards, Mayur >Hi, > >I am facing a problem configuring my linux box as a load balancer.. >right now, i have two connections on to the net, 1) a 256 kbps leased line >and 2) a cable modem >ie 2 default routes and 2 diffrent ip addresses... > >What i need to know is howto configure my linux box so that i could use >both these net connections from my main linux router and they should >masquarade the connections. > >I have checked out equal cost multipath.. the problem here is that it uses >a round robin method to send data.. uses the first default route for one ip >address then the second for the next ie per-connection balancing .. >The problem here is that it seems to distribute the bandwidth equally.

After spending a lot of time i found that after reducing the security level in the Internet Explorer to low I was able to log on to them (thro win98). MSN still gives me problems though. See if you can use it the reverse way. Noel _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
