Sorry for the mangled reply, html mail is irritating. ________________________________________ From: Nash Nipples [mailto:trashy_bumper@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, 23 June 2006 10:41 PM To: Christopher Martin Cc: freebsd-net@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Multiple routes to the same destination 1. how did you uninstall routed? 2. why not alter routes in a script, you are not going to send packets belonging to the same session in multiple routes would ya? 1) I don't, didn't and never was using, or even talking about, routed 2) The point is to load balance, not fail over. As said in my first reply, I have fail over covered. My question in return would be why use a custom script setup (using ping or such to detect the link state) for fail over when there are so many better ways of doing it? And, yes, I do want packets from one session going over multiple links. That's what load balancing is... Sure it's not going to account for packet size, it's not going to be perfectly efficient, but as said before it's better than nothing!
