How to setup "True Loadbalancing" via Multiple WANs?
-
Hi,
I am not sure if my idea is discussed already, I want to do the following setup (as described in this Sticky topic http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,16923.0.html under True Loadbalancing):
In a datacenter, where I get fixed ip ranges, I would like to have a pfSense (newest beta).
In our office I would like to have pfSense, to. Now I want to setup one or more tunnels via different ISPs to the data center's pfSense.
The result should be, that I can route a complete fixed IP range into our office, but via several WANs (DSL, Cable, UMTS).
The routing itself shouldn't be the problem. The goal here should be, how to "combine" my different WANs to one big line into the datacentre. In case that all WAN lines are up, my download/upload speed should be the total sum of all capacities (except some protocol overhead of courde). In case one WAN line dies, the tunnel must continue with the rest without bigger interruption, as long as the line(s) come up again automatically.
Can you give me some start tipps or some links, where someone did this before?

There isn't any support for that in the GUI, even on 2.0. At least not yet.
A month or so ago we were kicking around ideas about how to pull this off and it may be possible using something like lagg/lacp/mlppp/etc over private VPN links to combine bandwidth but nothing concrete was settled on.

Hi Jimp,
I think the private networks over different WANs should be not to difficult. May be only the "dynamic bonding" part has to be solved. Do you have any plans to investigate here?

Do not reply to your own topic just to get it put back at the top. If someone can help you, they will. Jimp's answer is about as definitive as its going to get for now.
