Setting up/Using the internet over multiple NIC's?

[mooseracing]

I have a server I play with and has 4 availabe NIC's. I have one DSL con & one cable con. Right now both broadband con's go through a router first then to the server.

What I would really like to do is route certain traffic(ie maybe by port) that is incoming/outgoing on the server to a certain NIC.

Like i want RDP & FTP to only be on one NIC. Then the other NIC be used for any thing else.


This is on a Win2k3 Enterprise OS server.

Anything close out there i can do this with?

Thanks guys

not sure on windows, but it's damn easy to bind server applications to a port (i.e. all INCOMING ftp traffic is bound to one NIC)

not so easy to do via port going OUTBOUND. You could do it via IP's...(i.e. all ftp.microsoft.com traffic gets routed via "Local Area Connection 2")

Well for right now i bridged the two connections and so far the one connection is taking most of the load and once and awhile the other takes a load.

Guess i'll have to do some more hunting.
