Hello
I wonder if there is the possibility to use two NIC (eth0 and eth1) to connect to the same website. Eg. have two browser instances, one takes eth0 and the other eth1.
The reason is, that I'm developing a multi user web application that i need to test online, and i don't have a second machine at home. But my ISP provides me with two dynamic IPs and my machine has two NICs, so i could connect both of them trough a switch to my modem, which is only a bridge, no router, to get two different IPs. Not quite sure about that, didn't buy the switch so far.
Is there a way to point with two connections to the same web application? Is special software, configuration hacks or something like that needed?
Many thanx in advance
