I have a machine with 2 nic's. One nic (ETH0) is connected to a cable modem. The other nic (ETH1) is connected to an internal lan. The internal lan also has access to the internet.
The cable service, Time-Warner RoadRunner, is great when up, but is not reliable. The connection through the internal lan (Verizon DSL) is reliable but lousy. Sigh. When the cable is down, the interface connection to the cable modem stays up. An ifconfig shows ETH0 as up. The only way to tell is to ping an outside address. I thought of bonding. But that won't work since it will see ETH0 as up, even if the cable service is down. Is there a way to implement network failover that actually checks for true internet connection? sean -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
