Loadbalancing 2 WAN 1 LAN
-
Hello,
2.0-BETA4
built on Wed Jul 28 22:34:32 EDT 2010
FreeBSD 8.1-RC2I have two PPPOE WAN connections (Same ISP), Created a gateway group. [gwg.jpg - attached]
My problem is I always get one WAN connection active at a time. If I disconnect WAN1 and reconnect WAN2 it works, however WAN1 will remain disconnected until WAN2 is disconnected
Is something wrong with my configuration..? or am I just doing it wrong ???
attached is a screenshot of the gateway group status [gws.jpg]
ps: for the gateway setup, I tried the default configuration and my second attempt I added openDNS ip's for each WAN's monitor IP.
Thank you!

Do your 2 WAN connections use the same gateway? I know this doesn't work in 1.2 but I'm not sure about 2.0. I'm thinking no after reading your post.
I guess your provider doesn't offer mlppp? It's worth finding out if you're not sure, as it has advantages over load-balancing, and no disadvantage if your modems are syncing at similar speeds. It's also very functional in 2.0, as I can tell you from experience.

No, it doesn't work on 2.0 either.

Both WANs were using the same gateway >_< Added a router, all good ;D

After telling a few people this myself they tried anyways and it does indeed work. I'm now using this so I didn't have to put a router in to change the gateway. It does work but I'm not able to access one of the modems on it. Fine with me. Using Google DNS btw.
