Note to would-be rehomers. I won’t necessarily be able to give much support at all, not because I am being mean, but because my concentration is stuffed because of the constant pain and fatigue that I’m in. These routers work beautifully with no known problems.
The config that I use will not be suitable for your use. The reasons include the fact that: I’m using a range of IPv4 globally routable addresses for my main LAN; you may not have such an address block available to you provided by your ISP and may be using NAT with RFC1918 addresses for the LAN. There will be some mentions of ISP-specific addresses in the config relating to my assigned addresses, various nodes and services associated with the ISP. There will of course be mentions of my IP addresses.
There is a load of good stuff about firebricks at support.aa.net.uk and the manuals and software downloads are on the
Firebrick website. Use the
email list at: http://lists.firebrick.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/firebrick-users for questions. We have other Firebrick users here amongst us.
I see no problem using two different ISPs simultaneously
provided you can get the IP addressing sorted out. That’s a problem which is beyond Firebrick configuration. Your strategy for IP address assignment and routing might be a subject
for another thread. (One sledgehammer method of making two ISPs work on bonded lines might be the use of AA’s L2TP service iirc.)
