route traffic of eth0 to eth1

[ghulam yaseen]

Hello All,

I am running a server on two ethernets which can be accessed in all over pakistan. Currently ethernet 0 is configured to entertain users of karachi and Lahore but i need to route users of lahore to ethernet 1 and users of karachi to ethernet0. I have already implemented the ip forward setup but yet no luck. Can any one help.

Regards,

I am running a server on two ethernets which can be accessed in all over pakistan.

how do users get to your server?

Currently ethernet 0 is configured to entertain users of karachi and Lahore but i need to route users of lahore to ethernet 1 and users of karachi to ethernet0.

assuming you use bind for dns, give ethernet0 one ip address, ethernet1 another ip address, and use views in send traffic from different cities to different ips.

I have already implemented the ip forward setup but yet no luck.

forward from where to where?

And how you differentiating which user is from karachi and which is from Lahore??

[ghulam yaseen]

As i told you i have two ip's, one ip of karachi users and second ip of lahore so i want when ever lahore users click on my domain should go to lahore ip and karachi users when click should go to karachi ip. it is just 2 different ip's.
Further i can see on net that may be iptables can also do this work, further help will be appreciable.

so, it appears that in answer to x2oxen's question, you currently aren't differentiating between users from lahore and karachi.

Further i can see on net that may be iptables can also do this work, further help will be appreciable.

where did you see this? i don't think iptables can do it.

what you need is a list of networks that isps in lahore use, and a similar list for karachi. you can then use bind views (assuming you use bind for dns, and control the dns server) to direct traffic to whichever ip you want them to connect with.

Have anyone heard about Geo-targeting scripts......i think it is more easy to make this task possible than getting the IP lists of ISPs....

[lambda]

geo-targeting scripts use ip address ranges! you can get the list of networks from a geo-targeting script (or site with lists of networks).

[mejam]

Yes it is and it will help him getting the lists very easily......

Dear Ghulam Yaseen,
Salam,

I think netfilter geoip patch will also help.

This post is just for all users further knowldge that Netfilter is one way and the other way is using DNS round-robin to use two ip's for one domain for load balancing.

again, look at bind views (tinydns has something similar). you can easily specify what your domain looks like to other people depending on their ip/network.

dns round-robin is something else (and note: doesn't work properly with vista).
