Okay gurus,
I've got four network cards.
one has the following:
IP : 192.168.0.100
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway:192.168.0.1
DNS1: 25.44.125.137
DNS2: 25.45.245.79
the second has:
IP : 192.168.10.101
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway:192.168.10.1
DNS1: 26.134.25.113
DNS2: 26.135.45.69
third has the following:
IP : 192.168.20.190
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway:192.168.20.1
DNS1: 23.44.125.137
DNS2: 23.45.245.79
the forth has:
IP : 192.168.30.200
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway:192.168.30.1
DNS1: 27.134.25.113
DNS2: 27.135.45.69
my problem is: given that the 4 NICs have different subnet, gateway and different DNS servers, how to achieve network load balancing or teaming, were all cards are used simultaneously. That is is there a internal router kernel module that will let me achieve that ...
Thank you ...
load balancing or load division if I may.
what I want to achieve is the following:
Let assume I am using firefox to browse, how can I configure my currently four network cards so that firefox can use them all simultaneously, i.e.: For a given http request, some packets are received via NIC-1, at the same time other packets received by NIC-2, and so on. USE ALL the NICs in PARALLEL.
And in case I am using ssh and firefox and say sftp at the same time, How I should configure the NICs, so not only to distribute the load between the NICs but also make them look as if a single NIC.
thank you
