[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] September meeting of mwvlug - Dual Homing networks

[John Sechrest]

This is an early announcement for the September MWVLUG meeting:


	How to make dual network feeds create reliable connections. 
	Conrad Shultz

	Date:  9/6/2005
	Time:  6:30pm
	Location:  PEAK Internet - Western and 15th , Corvallis Oregon


	An oft-overlooked feature of Linux is the ability to utilize
	multiple "upstream" internet connections simultaneously.  With
	a little code-writing and head-scratching it can be made to
	detect dead gateways, automatically rewrite routing tables,
	and even update DNS entries.  At the meeting we will discuss
	what can (and cannot) be accomplished without assistance from
	ISPs, consider strategies for maximizing network uptime (for
	various definitions of "uptime"), and review home-brewed
	routing and monitoring scripts used at a local small business.
	If you have ever wanted to gain freedom from ISP outages
	without having to break the bank then this session is for you.



	PS, this is how to do it with DSL and cable, not with 
	BGP and T1 connections.
