Welcome
Linuxwarz.com offers multiple scripting projects and guides targeted to a technical website/systems administrator crowd.
Linux WAN Load Balancer
While on the job at a local cyber cafe, an expense problem occurred and a solution was needed to allow the cafe to ditch four expensive T1 lines from AT&T for five Comcast cable lines. Our Cisco equipment was naturally unable to understand that each packet could not just be sent out any WAN link as it would when dealing with equal cost metrics. When balancing between multiple WAN links it is important to understand that packets from already active connections need to go out the same link the router first chose every time.
My research lead me to a low cost solution which was to utilize old hardware with Linux in a redundant setup. I created multiple scripts and configuration files which enabled Linux to not only load balance with a round robin configuration, but provide the proper connection and firewall support that was needed.
The Linux WAN Load Balancer project supports VLANs, customizable security options using iptables, and redundancy through keepalived. I am currently rewriting all of the shell scripts into a convenient application and daemon written in C.
Fonera Hack Pack
Linuxwarz.com was the creator of one of the original fonera hack packs. The current version (2.0) contains the latest DD-WRT flash file for the fonera. This pack will only enable flashing of first generation foneras which were released around 2006.
The Lab
"The Lab" is where all experimental applications and services can be downloaded. The newest addition to The Lab is version 2 of the Linux WAN Load Balancer project, known as balance(d).
