Hi all
I have two netfilter gateways, one connected to boardband (~256Kbps =
uplink) and the other to a leased line (64Kbps ), both with NAT enabled =
to my private LAN. And I have an email server behind these firewalls. To =
be able to receive mail I have to set the default route of my mail server =
to point to the leased line (fixed IP to the world) so other can lookup =
it. What I would like is to direct the internal generated (email i.e. =
SMTP) session to from the leased line gateway to the boardband gateway as =
it has more bandwidth. I beleive I can detect the newly generated tcp =
session with the syn flag. What I don't know is if I be able to redirect =
the whole packet and following packet of the same session to the boardband =
gateway? =20
Any comments welcome
Thanks in advance
