multiple NIC

[jonmat71]

Hello, I have a web server and I want to install 3 NIC cards on it so that I can do a round robin. I dont know if their all going to work or just one IP address working? But I really would like to know if I am doing this right, please let me know. This is how I configured the NIC cards:

For Example:

First NIC card:
IP 192.168.100.2
Sub: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.1

Second NIC card:
IP 192.168.100.3
Sub: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.1

Third NIC card:
IP 192.168.100.4
Sub: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.1


And I configured my DNS for those IP address, so that DNS can point to those IP address on my network.

Is this possible to configure on One computer with those 3 NIC cards?:rolleyes:

Why do you feel you need 3 different NICs on the one machine?

Well I dont have enough Computers to load balance it, so I figured with having multiple NIC cards like 3 NIC cards in one web server and as I configured it from the previous settings would load balancing the www and configuring DNS for round robin also configure router! I just would like to know if it will work, and if so how would I know if indeed DNS round robin is working? From what I have read in search engine having multiple NIC like 3 NIC cards for example in one web server 'only one IP is routable to the Internet? and the other NIC is not routable? is it possible to round robin 3 NIC to load balance www? Please help, thanks!
