That said, you should be able to route outgoing traffic over one interface and incoming traffic over the other. For domain home.net, with routing host interfaces gate-ppp0.home.net, gate-ppp1.home.net, gate-eth0.home.net; net.home.net set to the appropriate net (like "net.home.net. in a a.b.c.0", in your home.net DNS file), and interfaces gate-ppp0.remote.net, gate-ppp1.remote.net, routing can be configured as follows: - on home.net routing host: route add default gate-ppp0 route add net.home.net -interface eth0 - on remote.net router: route add net.home.net gate-ppp1.far.net Assuming that gate-ppp0.home.net and gate-ppp0.remote.net are connected, and gate-ppp1.home.net and gate-ppp1.remote.net are connected. Of course, I could be wrong! We use a similar method for pairs of T1's, which definitely seems to work. -- Jason Fordham Vice President, Operations Digital Extremes
