I've been suggesting this kind of thing for years http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9835281-54.html?part=dtx&tag=nl.e433 -- Looking back, I realize that my path to software as a career began at the age of seven, when someone taught me to count in binary on my fingers.

RE: I need a router with Dial-On-Demand, can Ubuntu Server do it?
by Dale Beams 22 Dec '07

IPCop will do just this. IPCop is setup for a firewall, but will do DOD, as I have done it myself for this purpose. More importantly, IPCop has squid, and a proxy cache which should cache webpages for you to speed browsing on a modem. You can catch me on IRC as well.

I need a router with Dial-On-Demand, can Ubuntu Server do it?
by Leo Mauler 21 Dec '07

I'm getting conflicting answers off Google so I thought I'd see if anyone here has done anything like this with Ubuntu Server. Basically I'd like to add a kind of "load balancing" router to the home network. The ice storm over the last two days knocked out the cable internet, but left the telephone lines intact. This has been true of my home in every major ice storm in the past ten years. It would be nice to have a router which had the option of sharing a dial-up connection when the cable internet went out. I have a Linux-friendly prepaid Internet service provider for when I travel ("Budget Dialup" in case anyone is looking for Linux-friendly prepaid Internet), so there's a dialup option available for home use. What I'd like to do is stick a Linux router between the cable modem and the existing wireless router. The new Linux router would take Internet access from the cable modem, have a regular dialup modem setup for emergency Dial-On-Demand, and then share out the Internet (from whatever source) to the home network. The modem wouldn't have a phone line plugged into it unless there was an actual cable outage, so there would be no risk of accidentally using up the prepaid minutes. I want to have web and DNS caching to minimize bandwidth usage during dialup periods, though they wouldn't be a bad idea even with the cable Internet. I haven't done anything like this in awhile, so if you know what I should be looking for, it would be much appreciated. I would like to use Ubuntu but I have read in various forums that the Dial-On-Demand function I need may not be possible using Ubuntu's versions of pppd and other software. If you know of a better solution then I'm interested. I have looked at Smoothwall but it doesn't seem to have the D-O-D function. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

I received a long time ago a copy of this from Oreilly for review purposes. I was wondering if anyone would like this to read/write a review. I don't know the revision/version, but I think it was the most recent. Jonathan
