Okay, this seems impossible to me...at least in a number sense....it just doesn't
make sense, but I'll ask anyway.
As of today I have both DSL service (256K) as well as Cable (1.5Mb/128K). As you
can tell, the upstream on the cable is puny and unfortunate for me since I tend to
transfer some rather large files up to my server at work. Obviously I would favor the
DSL for upstream, and the cable for downstream... (you can already guess what I'm
getting at, don't you?)
So, can it be done? All I honestly care for is *upstream* FTP transfers...nothing
else. Email, WWW, *downstream* FTP, and whatever other dang traffic can go just fine
over the Cable connection. Now I realize it's not easy to split up/downstream FTP
connection, so even if all FTP connections go through the DSL, I'll be happy.
I can easily have the Cable connected to one server and the DSL to another
(actually, in a sense it's already setup that way, but only the cable one is on the
network...the DSL server is a lone cowboy at the moment). But what I believe can't be
done is somehow merge these two servers into one "network" where everyone else sitting
behind them (masq machines) can have access to both. Each server has a completely
different set of IPs, from two completely different providers.
Maybe I'm dreaming, but this is about the most logical solution that I could think
of:
[ Cable Server ] [ DSL Server]
eth0: DHCP IP from provider eth0: Static IP from provider
eth1: Static private IP eth1: Static private IP

[ Internal Server ]
eth0: serves private network (goes to HUB)
eth1: serves eth1 on Cable Server
eth2: serves eth1 on DSL Server
The Internal Server will then do the traffic directing, through....something, not
sure yet.
Have I gone insane yet? Does this even make sense?
