Network Traffic Routing

by ehoffman . Updated 20 years ago

Here is my scenario:

Development Server, with IP address and gateway pointing to a firewall and backup DSL line.

We would like to add another IP address, and have the gateway point to another firewall tied to a T-1 line to support a few sites that need a little more throughput.

Added the IP address and gateway to the existing NIC; did not seem to help. Is the answer I have to have two NICS…can’t shortcut it?

Traffic from the T-1 seems to make it to the box, but nothing happens, so I assume it gets shuttled to the original DSL gateway?

I feel I am missing a fundamental issue, like I shouldn’t even need to worry about the gateways, etc. Or, I simply needs two NICs, no shortcuts possible.

Firewalls are configured with one to one NAT, and access rules are okay.
