My asterisk machine has 2 nic's. One nic (ETH0) is connected to a cable modem. The other nic (ETH1) is connected to an internal lan. The internal lan also has access to the internet.
The cable service, Time-Warner RoadRunner, is great when up, but is not reliable. And sip connections are excellent. The connection through the internal lan (Verizon DSL) is reliable but lousy. Sigh. When the cable is down, the interface connection to the cable modem stays up. An ifconfig shows ETH0 as up. The only way to tell is to ping an outside address. I thought of bonding. But that won't work since it will see ETH0 as up, even if the cable service is down. Is there a way to implement network failover that actually checks for true internet connection? This way I can keep my sip connection up, even if degraded. sean -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
