1 server, 3 NICs, 2 Gateways - will it work?

 

hi guys,

 

here situation.  have server in our domain has terminal server access controlled our firewall.  server has 3 nic’s – 2 operational @ moment have default gateway of 10.0.0.1.  , our firewall goes out via 2 adsl connections.  have published ip’s on fw direct ts traffic server.  have added fibre connection to our larger office.  can use fibre connection browse internet through network , have setup gateway (say 10.0.0.2) on fibre.

 

what wanting allow ts session through fibre connection (as retaining access through other fw- now).  has been allocated ip address controlled firewall @ our other office.  wanting activate third nic , have default gateway of nic 10.0.0.2. people can access ts using superfast fibre – still need keep other connections in meantime.

 

just wondering if possible or confuse server data packets need travel?  wondering if route command can use somehow tell server info coming in on nic 3 has go out nic 3 , consequently out gateway 10.0.0.2.

 

i hope makes sense,

cheers, stephen

   no won't work.

  1. can have 1 default gateway per machine, not per interface.

   2. static routes define packet should go. cannot route packet based on came from.

     can have default gateway set either firewall or fibre link, not both.
