Hi,
We have 3 Gateway servers -- CentOS 5.3 (non-graphical mode) + Dansguardian
- Squid.
Not much traffic or load. We have 3 ISP & 3 separate teams using 1 ISP each, hence we have setup 3 different servers.
I was wondering it it is possible to use virtualization and consolidate all 3 servers on single server.
yes you can. i guess only consideration might be having individual nic per isp and 1 for internal lan.
It can also be done with 2 NICs one for LAN and one for external; with bridge-utils to create tap interfaces which in turn are bound to the "external" NIC. In this specific case tap0 <> ISP0, tap1 <> ISP1 etc.
you can use vmware server if you like on linux as a host if you like
Or Linux KVM + userland kvm-qemu tools.
