I have two questions: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1. Is it feasible to have both Ethernets connect, directly or indirectly, |
| 16 |
to the same DSL modem/router? (Adam seemed to imply that he operates this |
| 17 |
way). The device is a Billion Bipac 8900AX R2, which can segregate LAN |
| 18 |
ports, but as far as I can see it can't assign different IP addresses to |
| 19 |
them. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
2. How should I set up routing on the web server so that outgoing traffic |
| 22 |
from itself is routed as follows: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
(i) if the destination is in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, the packet should |
| 25 |
go out through enp2s0, and |
| 26 |
(ii) traffic to all other destinations goes out through enp1s0? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
There ought to be a simple addition to /etc/conf.d/net, but I can't see |
| 29 |
what, even after looking through several web resources, including these: |
