I have a server with 4 nics. Two are using different internet connections, both with static IP's, and two are connected to our private network.
The two internet facing nics seem to be battling over the gateway designation. Which ever I designate as the gateway the other stops responding to incoming traffic. I need both to listen to inbound traffic. One for our main web page and the other for another web server. I found some information of Iproute2 but that did not seem to solve my issues.
Here are the config files:
ifcfg-eth2 DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:24:E8:52:92:8E ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=xx.yy.51.45 NETMASK=255.255.255.252 GATEWAY=xx.yy.51.46
ifcfg-eth3 DEVICE=eth3 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:24:E8:52:92:90 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=aa.bb.166.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.224 GATEWAY=aa.bb.166.1
network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME=heritage01 GATEWAY=xx.yy.51.46 GATEWAYDEV=eth2
rt_tables # # reserved values # 255 local 254 main 253 default 0 unspec # # local # #1 inr.ruhep 200 Cable 201 T1 iproute2 routes ip route add xx.yy.51.44/30 dev eth2 src xx.yy.51.46 table Cable ip route add default via xx.yy.51.46 ip route add xx.yy.51.44/30 dev eth2 src xx.yy.51.46 ip route add default via xx.yy.51.46 ip rule add from xx.yy.51.46 table Cable ip route add aa.bb.166.0/27 dev eth3 src aa.bb.165.2 table T1 ip route add default via aa.bb.166.1 ip route add aa.bb.166.0/27 dev eth3 src aa.bb.166.2 ip rule add from aa.bb.166.2 table T1 ip route flush cache
Other people seem to be using this configuration successfully but I seem to be missing something important.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!! Thanks!
