Astaro User Bulletin Board - View Single Post - two internet interfaces

At first Astaro support told they couldn't find anything wrong and told me to update my firmware to the newest version.

I did so last night. Still same issue.

After a second look I was told that the server IP addresses I had been assigned by my ISP were outside of the subnet range of public IP given to me which is assigned to the Astaro External WAN Interface.

I was told that I would need to create 'Additional Addresses' entries for each of the server IP addresses that I used on that interface in order to enable Uplink Balancing....

"[The Server IPs] will only be available to traffic which happens to traverse eth3 (the external WAN interface), and then it may not be
reliable."

sounds odd, but I'm trying it now and I'll report back. But one thing I know is that this Uplink Balancing deal needs a bit better explanation and documentation. There's clearly some stuff going on behind the scenes that us little people are not privy to.
