I am trying to set up a ClearOS Multi-WAN / Loadbalancer Gateway for our clients in my hostel.

Here is my set up:
9 w H. a5 v* e R- uI have 3 ADSL connections (2Mb, 1,5Mb and 1Mb - from 2 different ISPs) which I want to use all together to provide access to the internet to our clients via WiFi and a few stationary PCs.
4 B+ D: F; ?5 jThe server I want to use has a total of 5 NICs, so I want to use 3 of them to connect to the ADSL modems, 1 to a switch to connect the access points to and the 5th to a switch to connect the PCs., k& F2 c3 |, b7 h1 M9 c, a

As I am in Bolivia, I have no access to the ADSL Modems, so I am stuck with their configuration all of them using the same IP range (192.168.0.x) and Subnet (255.255..255.0), I hope it will still be possilbe even with 3 NICs in the same IP range (?).

But that's not where my trouble starts.

Interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth3 are set up to be the "External" interfaces, I have to give them Static IP's because other wise they will not pick up an IP address from the modems. Other computers (Windows & Mac) do get the IP's from the modem via DHCP without a problem.. V; m; v5 l& r' @, k' V( C

For the "Internal" interfaces I try to set them up with DHCP servers and fixed IPs but anything I try to connect won't pick up an IP.# S. ]' d5 L3 K; {, T0 `. v( [
I read that 2 DHCP servers on one network are not the best idea, but I guess if the network is created with that NIC and I connect a computer directly to that NIC it should get an IP?% e: N! C [0 C, X6 p
