Bind Squid to a different IP address, and use advanced routing stuff to route it out the quicker link. IE, (define tables in your /etc/iproute2/rt_tables file) ip route add 0/0 via <cable_gw> dev <cable_dev> table cable ip route add 0/0 via <dsl_gw> dev <dsl_dev> table dsl ip rule add from <squid_ip> table cable pri 2 may be a bit more you have to define, but that's the basic idea. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
