$ D% K4 A$ v6 z) Q, q: G0 x4 ^I am trying to set up a ClearOS Multi-WAN / Loadbalancer Gateway for our clients in my hostel.; l1 l" x; w' ?

Here is my set up:
5 N2 A. K# A5 {; N5 x. cI 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.& H6 N9 s' Q, y4 b3 L& _/ s* d! `4 P
The 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.

$ V3 P; S. r' z- z9 k4 f7 o" ~2 xAs 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 (?).

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.$ ?; l5 [& ]9 I! v
: {9 z4 M1 }1 q1 l kFor 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.
8 d7 z/ ^) t' B& |* i( QI 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?, {- R# g; e. B4 j# _/ \1 ?
8 Z# g8 x0 H1 g5 r# HThen, even if I assign a fixed IP to the computer connecting to the LAN interface, I don't get routed through to get out on the net. I can't even ping 8.8.8.8
