Multihomed RunUO 1.0 RC1 - RunUO

Papler · 07-28-2008, 12:59 PM

Hello,

we run a Runuo 1.0 RC1, and just today i got a secondary ISP connection. Both connections are on the LAN together, router for the primary connection having the ip 192.168.1.1 and the router for the secondary is 192.168.1.2.
I can switch ISPs by changing the last digit of the IP in my Gateway address to either 1 or 2.

It seems that if i have the XP OS set to gateway 1, people can only connect to the shard by connecting to the external IP from the primary ISP
And if i have it set to gateway 2, people can only connect by connecting to the IP of the secondary ISP

When it's set to primary ISP and someone tries to connect the secondary IP, i just get the console line:
Client: ip.of.client: Disconnected. [1 Online]

Since HTTP server works, it seems that this is just a RunUO issue. Is it possible to get any info about multihoming a server? I tried searching but no luck.

Help will be much appreciated.

Try BGP?

Do you know of anything i need to set in my router or Windows XP to make it work?

As far as I know, RunUO was never designed to work in a multi homed environment. BGP would be possible if you are using something like T1+ lines and your provider allows you to use BGP (and you have qualified staff). VRRP could be possible; it requires no modification on the server, as the protocol is handled between the routers and your provider. But why would you want to do any of this? Why would you want to provide a single server with two (or more) connections to the internet? If it is redundancy, get it hosted! That will be much cheaper and (probably) very reliable (depending on your hosting company).

Yes redundancy.

I have a 10Mbit upstream connection that i would use as primary for which i pay 20$ per month, and i would use my neighbour's wifi as the redundant one. So for just 20$ per month plus electricity, i get a dual core with 4GB of ram and 250GB diskspace - instead of the celeron 1GB ram and 20GB space i would get for 100$ at godaddy.

Well, Apache server works well, so i guess it's just how runuo is designed.
