Hi luggers,
Is it possible to use two gateways, one from a fixed ip provider (hathway) on my eth1 and the other from dial-up (vsnl) on my ppp0 (modem)
Using hathway, i can browse better, but download of mails is painfully
slow.
Using vsnl dial-up, i am able download mails, but browsing is very slow. Moreover if i use vsnl for browsing, it slows my mail download.
Right now i have to manually change the gateway (using linuxconf), and
then
connect to vsnl. After downloading the mails, i disconnect and switch to hathway.
I tried man route to change the routing rules manually, but it does not work. route add gw 202.88.136.1 Nm 0.0.0.0 dev eth1
Suggestions please
Noel.
