Getting some good feed back, but I am getting the impression that bird may not be the solution.  A few have mentioned loadsharing, and I have looked into this.  The issue with loadsharing, from what I've read,  my ISP must support that two NIC can share the same IP.  The is not an option for me.  What I do know is that I can add a route to a specific IP to the routing table and it transmits through the second NIC(eth1), default is eth0.  There is no interuption to the game and works great.  So if I have 12 hosts( with unique ips ), can bird modify the routing table to put 6 hosts  on eth0, and 6 on eth1?  Parameters to use could be port, protocol, (bandwidth?).


 


My previous e-mail
Hi,

 I am new and would like to know if this is possible with bird.

 I currently have a game server setup behind a linux router/firewall which 
 is hooked up to two cable modems via two NICS( eth0 and eth1 ).  The idea 
 is that if I have 12( or more ) players, how do I tell the kernel( with 
 me telling using route ) TX packets to 6 players on eth0 and the other 6 
 on eth1.  Any thoughts?

 Sincerely,
