 |
|
Hey guys
I have 2 NICs working... the nforce nic set as eth1 and a linksys nic set at eth0.
I have both set in /etc/conf.d/net with seperate IPs and the same gateway. They both start and all my stuff works. But how do i tell whats using what and how do i tell linux to have it use... lets say this nic for this and this other nic for that? Im confused? ;/

That's a strange setup.....
You can use the route command to tune the routes more finely that with /etc/conf.d/net
If you want a separation based on ports, I think you have to use iptables: tell all the packets that come to eth0 and that are not for port blah blah to go to eth1 (hey, don't also configure it so that all the packets that come to eth1 and that are not for port blah blah to go to eth0, otherwise some packets could be in a loop between eth0 and eth1 internally)
