I have recently had installed a second ADSL line to give a bit of
security for if we have trouble with our existing line/provider.
I have connected it to a spare nic on my G5 xserve running 10.3.9
server. The spare NIC is a 2 port Gigabit NIC from small-tree
communications.
I was assuming that incoming access to the 2nd ADSL would come into
the xserve and give access to the same services as on the primary nic
but I can't access the server via the 2nd line. If I change the order
of the 2 external NICs on the xserve in the network port
configurations pane on the network system preferences panel the
situation is reveresed I can access everything via NIC2 & nothing via
NIC1
I was hoping to list the 2nd line as an MX backup so if line 1 is
down there would still be a route through to our mail server.
I think this might be a routing issue but its getting a bit confusing!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
Dave
