I have a question not FreeBSD specific, but since I'm going to use FreeBSD = to achieve what I need, I wanted your advice. I just arrived in a new company and their network has 2 xDSL connexions to = the Net. I was wondering what would be the best setup using FreeBSD as a gateway: =2D - should I make FreeBSD use the 2 connections as the same time (to have= twice the bandwidth), with bandwidth management for important services we host =2D - or should I install 2 FreeBSD gateways, one for each connection (lan = <--> net; public_ip_pool <--> net) and make them communicate within a local LAN (separate from the main one). I need the main lan to be able to communicate with the public_ip_pool. =2D - or something else ... ? If I had only one connection, I would build a LAN+DMZ+gateway, but I never really worked with 2 connections. If you have any advice concerning this, working under FreeBSD of course, please let me know. Best regards. =2D --=20 Antoine Jacoutot ajacoutot@lphp.org http://www.lphp.org PGP/GnuPG key: http://www.lphp.org/ressources/ajacoutot.asc =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/VYNAY3Hnhkr+5cQRAjJQAKCFZwgc3Sa4m3R3y/ybo8YlhVMEyACfV+8p iBy3dAI3EobGJggyRHVmE/o=3D =3D8Rrt =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
