Routing squid internet traffic between 2 NIC ports in single server.

Post by shrikant.sable » 2017/07/04 07:52:57

hi,
I have currently configured Squid Proxy on our network.Currently there is single Vlan for our setup
Following in the Top down device lists that are connected
1) ISP Modem
2) Firewall - Local Network Vlan
3) Cisco Cwitch
4) Linux Centos 6.4 server (Installed with squid Proxy) with eth0

Our firewall serves local connection with internet and also with site-2-site VPN.
But because of network load , VPN as well as internet usage is suffering.
I would like take additional ISP line and connect it directly to eth1 of Linux machine. will user machine be able to connect through ip of eth0 and connect to internet.

Thanks & Regards,
Shri

Do NOT use 6.4. It's more than 4 years old and riddled with high severity security vulnerabilities. Run yum update to get current - 6.9.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
