PPC load Balancer and dynamic IP

grescho · July 25, 2009, 1:41pm

After reading the WIKI and Forum regarding the PPC load Balancing feature, I don’t seem to understand if this can be done with two dynamic internet conecctions.
My concern is you have to manually enter the gateway IP address?
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to wether this is possible or not!

Thanks

use interface names as gateways for your routes

That only works on Point-to-point interfaces

AFAIK It should not work on broadcast networks such as Wireless and Ethernet.

I am slighty confused now.

any definitive thoughts?

I was going to go ahead and test your theory,
but when setting it up I get sutck on this particular line:
add chain=prerouting dst-address=10.111.0.0/24 action=accept in-interface=Local
I assumed when you said use interface names for your routes, I would change dst-address to out-interface.
But this is not possible and returns the error:
outgoing interface mathcing is not possible in input andprerouting chains…

any thoughts?

not in firewall rules, but in routes: /ip route
