[Ubuntu-ZW] 1. Thank you | 2. Ubuntu Server issues

Hi Lee,

I would say the easiest is to make your browsing interface the default
route for all traffic, and if you only want mail going through the
other interface then just add a static route for the mail ISP's
network to your routing table. This wouldn't require scripts as
routing and iptables would be static.

The second option, as per Samuel's mail, will obviously be trickier
but would allow browsing to happen on the second link if the first one
goes down. Unless you want to get the server configured by someone
professionally, you'll need to know about routing and iptables, etc. I
would advise doing a bit of reading up on those first if you plan on
doing it yourself.

Regards,
Neil
