Hey,
. n, o; e. A7 g
( ^& F0 u) \+ G- `! b FI am trying to set up a ClearOS Multi-WAN / Loadbalancer Gateway for our clients in my hostel.

" K) m! b# w8 `5 j# _- H* {' iHere is my set up:
$ ^+ A0 w1 J- C3 L1 EI have 3 ADSL connections (2Mb, 1,5Mb and 1Mb - from 2 different ISPs) which I want to use all together to provide access to the internet to our clients via WiFi and a few stationary PCs.6 ] w; ?$ ]9 w$ N* c4 I W' n& m6 o
The server I want to use has a total of 5 NICs, so I want to use 3 of them to connect to the ADSL modems, 1 to a switch to connect the access points to and the 5th to a switch to connect the PCs.# i. z+ F3 `, A

As I am in Bolivia, I have no access to the ADSL Modems, so I am stuck with their configuration all of them using the same IP range (192.168.0.x) and Subnet (255.255..255.0), I hope it will still be possilbe even with 3 NICs in the same IP range (?).

- v' ^, M7 {! ?# W% I# s ZInterfaces eth0, eth1 and eth3 are set up to be the "External" interfaces, I have to give them Static IP's because other wise they will not pick up an IP address from the modems. Other computers (Windows & Mac) do get the IP's from the modem via DHCP without a problem.) C% U( m; `4 u
8 z4 k( d h. ]9 F% fFor the "Internal" interfaces I try to set them up with DHCP servers and fixed IPs but anything I try to connect won't pick up an IP.
4 N- j& X1 k9 r/ V1 GI read that 2 DHCP servers on one network are not the best idea, but I guess if the network is created with that NIC and I connect a computer directly to that NIC it should get an IP?, d' Q! T5 U2 {( j

Any hints on where I should start?
