I have an interesting situation at a business that I am working on. We
currently have the office set up with redundant connections for their mission
critical servers and such, and also have a (cheap) cable modem for general
browsing on client machines.
The interesting part is that the client machines need to access some customer
networks via the main redundant network, so we have a firewall set up to route
those connections via the redundant connections, and everything else via the
cheaper, faster cable modem. NAT is used on both outbound connections.
With IPv6, we are having some trouble coming up with a way to do this. Since
there is no NAT, does anyone have any ideas as to how this could be
accomplished?
In a nutshell: how do you have 2 upstream connections, and choose between them
based on outbound destination?
*LAUGH*
really interesting and funny.
my only idea is to have a 2nd ip and 2nd gateway at all "users"
workstations with explicit routes. (scales very very well, perhaps run some routing
protocol? ospf? :)
bye,
