Question

4 nic ubuntu router

Asked by: hahjoel1
I am having problems with either iptables and or routing in my system. I have 4 network cards, 3 are wan, 1 is lan. all network cards work fine. my isp gives out the static ip via dhcp. all 3 wan recieve their correct ip address. eth0 is the default route, it can be pinged, and internet can come in and out on it.  the problem is with the other two wan. they are not pingable and i can not ping the out side world using ping -I eth2 4.2.2.1 ect.....I am able to of course ping the ip address from the console and my computers on the lan are able to ping those ip address as well. All 3 wan serve the single lan. some servers require their own pipe fore bandwidth reasons.

the lan ip schema is 172.16.32.0, I am using ip tables to masqerare. eveything works correctly other then other tw0 cards, which i am assuming are having issues because of the routes. imodified my ip to hide the actual of course. if someone could help I would appreciate it.

ip schema

eth0 --- 1.1.1.99
eth1 --- 172.16.32.1
eth2 --- 2.2.2.124
eth3 --- 3.3.3.125
