Hi all,
Does anyone have any suggestions on configurations to improve =
interent redundancy for small clients that cannot run BGP. For example a =
50-100 user company with both a Cable modem and ADSL connection. I could =
see how setting up internal servers with an address from each ISP's =
range would allow access to them from the internet if one link went down =
(as long as both addresses are listed in DNS). What could you do for =
internal client pc's to ensure internet connectivity? A router connected =
to both the cable and ADSL modems could have both listed as default =
gateways and load balance between the two links to optimize bandwidth =
utilization. It would only fail over to the other link if the connection =
between the client company and the ISP went down though. It would be =
unable to sense a failure in the ISP connection to the Internet backbone =
for example. Any suggestions of how to optimize this setup further? =
Without BGP of course ;-)
Thanks everyone,
Paul Thomas
