Hello all.
I have load balancing (DSL + Cable) ala nano HOWTO + some modifications.
Works great.

I would like to be able to define proxies for certain applications so that
I can force
them to use a particular interface and thus control if they go out cable
vs DSL. You think
I could install some kind of proxy on the load balancing box and achieve
this or will I need
to make two proxy server boxes, one off each external interface on the
load balancer?
I''m using the load balancer for home office use. I want to specify, say
for streaming video to use
the cable modem, as it has a much higher download rate. I know I could
create some static routes
for certain ports (I have already done this using mangle) but I don''t
want
to have to do
this every time I configure a new application. By having
''proxies'' any
application that supports
proxy server can be configured for a particular interface. It could be
quite convenient. It doesn''t
need to be a true proxy like Squid, just something to relay the traffic.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated,
-Ron
