Two network cards, multihomed-public ips, not working?
Hey Guys,
Hopefully someone can help me with this. I'm using Fedora Core 4 and I have two network cards on my machine. I'm trying to get both to listen on public ip addresses, and while I can do that it's not actually working correctly...
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
69.28.179.128 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth0
205.134.130.176 * 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 205.134.130.177 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
Okay, with the default route in the routing table I can get in and out of my server via either ip address. If it's not there, I can't. If I ifconfig eth1 down I can't get in via eth0, so basically it's not routing correctly. I don't really know exactly whats wrong, so if someone could please take a moment I would really appreciate it.
The point of what I'm trying to do is to make my server accessible via the other network card if one goes down.
