I want to have two interfaces to the internet, apart from the internal one to the LAN. I came across this page: http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multipl e-links.html <http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multip le-links.html> and Julian's patches for the kernel published here: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/ and the How-to: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt So, I downloaded the patch: routes-2.4.22-9.diff (December 14, 2001), and applied it to my 2.4 kernel... The kernel re-compile part was fine, following the instructions in : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/ The issue is when I have to create a new initrd file.. it appears to create a vmlinuz, not a bzImage as the kernel-howto document says. So the new kernel does not boot... Questions: Have anyone done this? I mean, having two connections to the Internet, using RH8.0 or RH 9.0, and having them selecting (balancing) which interface to use to send packets out, and receiving in either seamlessly and with NAT ? I think this functionality should be built in and available, instead of having to patch the kernel? What would you guys recommend? As for the initrd part, any suggestions? Is there an official RedHat "re-build kernel" document? Thanks before-hand, Carlos ------_=_NextPart_001_01C38303.2011E4D0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-= 1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1226" name=3DGENERATOR><FIXED_STYLE_0 <><= /HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <p><FIXED_DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff size=3D2><FONT size=3D2> <P>Hi:</P> <P>I have an 'advanced-networking' problem.
