I have a time warner cable modem with a /28 network for multiple ip's. The modem they gave me has 4 ports on it. i have setup the astaro and a test box with two of the ip's i want to create a site to site vpn and use another ip not my main cable one use for proxying web traffice. it looks like site to site can't use and additional address it has to be an actual interface, so i configed the eth5 to have the 3rd ipaddress and picked the same gateway and plugged into port 3 on cable modem. Than a few hours later it went crazy with nics and internet going up and down and in a error state. So i disabled eth5 and all is good again.
So (finally the questions) Can you not do this with two nics going to the same cable modem(i did tell uplink balancing to rank this one low i do have a another t-3 providor configed for fault talerance that is also 100.
than second question if this can't be done is it bad to use my main line as a site to site vpn how do i get around this.
thanks for any insight you can give on either question.
