One box with two modems and three network cards
I have two modems assigned one on eth0 81.125.25.a and one on eth1 81.125.25.b , the 1st and 2nd modem have gateway 81.125.25.x. the internal network 192.168.0.1 on eth2, and the clients from 192.168.0.10-40 The problem is at 'route' when i do:
route -n add default gw 81.125.25.x
route -n add default gw 81.125.25.x dev eth1 (because first is on eth0)
or
route -n add default gw 81.125.25.x
route -n add -host 81.125.25.b gw 81.125.25.x dev eth1
this doesn't work too. In the first case I have net only on eth1 and not on eth0 and in the second on nothing. If I put only the 1st modem or the 2nd and add the default route it works, but I want both to work. I don't want load balancing because on the first modem I will put 5-6 persons and on second 20+ because the second line is more powerfull. (this will be via iptables SNAT : iptables -t nat -A POSTRUTING etc..)
Can somebody tell me what can i do to make the both modems work in the same time ? If you could give me the script it will be wonderful :)

you need routing.
iproute2 can handle this problem creating two different routing tables: one for eth0 and other for eth1.
check in

in the howto comes several examples about how to do what you want.

Can u post the script for doing this ? I don't understand what is there I mean what is $P2_NET and in my case is only 1 provider but 2 modems and the same gateway as I said upper in the question, I want the clients from 192.168.0.5-10 be on modem 1 and that from 192.168.0.15-40 on the other. I'm newbie in routings and this is why I asked here because all the answers of this question are read..read...and read howto's. Thanks

Works now..thank lhboi
connect 6 systems to one sub-net
connect 20 systems to second sbu-net
both subnet has ur linux system with modems as gateway
in gateway system add 1st subnet gw as 81.125.25.a
add 2nd subnet gw as 81.125.25.b
Thanx,
Joju.
