Re: Linux box



Riccardo,

You describe that you want all traffic originating from Net1 to traverse
Router1, and traffic originating from Net2 to traverse Router2, in order
to reach the Internet.  That is called policy-based routing, and you can
implement it with iproute2 on Linux.

You cannot both multihome using BGP, and policy-route in that manner. 
No currently deployed bgp-speakers can configure your routing table to
implement that policy.

In addition, although it seems like you have a firm understanding of
what you want to do on this level, your organization probably lacks the
necessary know-how to successfully deploy BGP, and your two ISPs may not
even be staffed or equipped to deliver BGP sessions to you.  If you want
to undertake it anyway, I strongly urge you to contract a consultant who
can help you and possibly your ISPs through the process.

I hope this helps.
