15:06.46josephnexushello everyone
15:06.56goozbachmroning
15:06.58josephnexusI was hoping someone could help me an interesting situation
15:07.26josephnexusI've got an ubuntu server here with two nics, and I've got two seperate ISPs.  I'm wanting it to be able to use both ISPs.
15:07.54josephnexusI know it isn't as simple as assigning the static IPs to each interface, because then it won't know when to route out of each interface
15:08.10josephnexusI need to be able to ssh in on either interface, as well as need apache serving pages on each interface
15:08.21josephnexusanyone have any ideas or pointers?
15:09.44josephnexusi would set up a load balancer in front, but that's ok
15:09.51josephnexusI only need inbound traffic to work on both interfaces
15:09.54josephnexusnot outbound
15:10.30josephnexuswhen I had both interfaces active, I could get out to the net on the server, but I couldn't ssh in on either interface, one would time out (the old interface) and the other would respond, but would never let me authenticate, even though I'm sure I put in the right password
15:10.41goozbachthen set them up with the static network
15:10.45goozbachbut omit a route
15:10.59goozbachand set a global system route on just one of the interfaces
15:11.05goozbachthat should be the first part
15:11.22goozbachyou connected, but not authenticated
15:11.24goozbach?
15:11.38josephnexusbut then will traffic coming in the other route know to go back out the other route?
15:11.52goozbachmaybe
15:11.59fugue88josephnexus: When you were testing this, were you physically isolated to just one of the nics?
15:12.00goozbachthere is a second step I'm trying to remember
15:12.15josephnexusfugue88, what do you mean?
15:12.16goozbachabout link affinity or somesuch
15:12.56fugue88It seems like IP (the protocol) ought to be able to handle this, where some packets might flow through one route, and some through a different one.
15:13.09josephnexusit does
15:13.16josephnexusand you would think it would know from which route they came
15:13.22fugue88But if you're testing this by connecting directly to one of the nics, then you could be missing packets from the other nic.
15:13.37josephnexusfugue88, I was going out through the internet to test it
15:13.40fugue88josephnexus: But which route it came from wouldn't matter, is what I was thinking.
15:13.43josephnexusboth nics lead to the internet
15:14.02josephnexusfugue88: it matters for people who have routers expecting the return packets from a certain IP
15:14.10fugue88josephnexus: So you had paths through both, I don't know why it wouldn't work, my knowledge is lacking... :(
15:14.24fugue88Who cares about such people???
15:14.33goozbachjosephnexus: this is the multiple return path problem
15:14.42josephnexusanyone who wants people with home routers to be able to connect
15:14.45josephnexus:-P
15:14.49goozbachand there is a solution
15:14.56josephnexusget two servers?
15:14.59josephnexus:P
15:15.05fugue88Get 1 ISP.
15:15.07goozbachI'm dusting off old boxes of memories in my brain
15:15.08fugue88:P
15:15.09goozbachplease hold
15:15.20goozbachmy attic is cluttered
15:15.34josephnexusfugue88, i want to have two isps, because we'll be adding another A record to the dns, so both will be utilized, and if one goes down, we pull one of the A records
15:15.45josephnexusit isn't pretty, but it is cheap
15:15.48josephnexus:-P
15:16.05josephnexuswhich is the driving requirement in this case
15:16.05goozbachthat it is
15:16.21goozbachjosephnexus: man iptables may have some help
15:16.33josephnexushave you seen that manual?
15:16.39josephnexusit's freaking huge!!!!

15:19.48goozbachhttp://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/never-restart-network-on-multi-adsl-connection-machine/
15:19.57goozbachthose two links seem close to what you need
15:20.04goozbachthe first part still stands
15:20.12josephnexusthe first part?
15:20.20goozbach(*NO* per-interface, nor global routes)
15:20.25josephnexusok
15:20.42goozbachand remember
15:20.54josephnexusand after I get all of this set up, since debian is awesome, I just do a /etc/init.d/networking restart yes?
15:21.03goozbachif you can't reboot the box, and have it come back in the state it is supposed to be, you're not done :)
15:21.16goozbach(I learned that one the hard way... lots of times)
15:21.23josephnexusyes, but I don't want to restart
15:21.26goozbachjosephnexus: in a nutshell yeah
15:21.47goozbachjosephnexus: I'd suggest scheduling some downtime to test it anyhow
15:22.10goozbachand if you're really worried about uptime of a website you shouldn't be on a single server :P
15:22.17josephnexusyup
15:22.26josephnexuswe're slowly improving them
15:22.32josephnexusjust takes time
15:22.55goozbachand if you ever decide that you want to spend money to do your load balancing F5 networks is the best
15:23.00goozbachsuper powerful
15:23.05goozbachbut super expensive
15:23.28goozbachhowever, they're almost essential for a multi-million dollar web infrastructure
15:24.03josephnexusyeah
15:24.07josephnexusthis, this right here
15:24.21josephnexusthis web infrastructure is valued not in billions
15:24.40josephnexusnot in million, or thousands really, or even hundred, but valued in the tens of dollars
15:24.46josephnexusTENS OF DOLLARS!
15:25.20goozbachwell, when your tens, becomes hundreds of thousands, look at f5
15:25.50fugue88josephnexus: Strategic corporate asset, that!
15:25.52josephnexusok
15:25.56josephnexusi'll keep them in mind
15:28.17goozbachjosephnexus: not quite the same problem, but this project may inspire you: http://code.google.com/p/muggles/
15:28.37josephnexusdoes it help networks that are valued in the tens of dollars?
15:28.47goozbachcould do
