Hi All,

I have following situation.

I have two network cards on the same machine to communicate with the
internet.


I have two domains where one is being accessed through
one network card and the other through the second network
card.

As far as incoming traffic goes everything works fine.

The outgoing traffic only goes through the card which has
Gateway metrics set to 1 and interface metrics set to 1.

So in the end I get all outgoing traffic going through one
network card only.

My goal is to split this traffic and use corresponding
network cards for each website respectively.


How do I do that?

I use IIS 5 and Windows 2000 server.
 
The Windows IP Stack does not allow for the use of two default gateways in
the sense of load balancing. Its support of two gateways is more for Dead
Gateway detection. In order to do what you are wanting, you need to add
additional network or host routes to the machine.
 
Thanks Dusty,

How do you add additional network or host routes?
