Hi,

I need an FTP server to be available 24 7 so im planning to install another
net connection

- The idea was to add 2 NICs to the ftp server.
- ISP1 has several public IPs available so one would be allocated to the ftp
server on NIC 1.
- ISP2 has 1 public IP so i use NAT to forward to 192.168.1.2 (NIC 2).

Would this work ?

Thanks for any information.
Scott.
