I have an HQ-to-Branch Office configuration with two separate VPN
connections like the following:
HQ LAN------ R1
---PIX1-------------INTERNET------------PIX2----R2-------Branch LAN
\
/
\
/
------R3-----PIX3---------INTERNET----------PIX4-----R4----
The network uses EIGRP, so I know that EIGRP will just choose the best
route, which is fine.
My question is: is the best practice to use HSRP between R1-R3 and R2-R4
as the LAN default gateway on the respective site? Or should I just
choose one router as the gateway and let EIGRP choose the best path?
Also, if I used two separate GRE tunnels for either path on only ONE
router on each site (with only one ethernet interface) as shown below,
what would be my potential problems, if any? Obviously, I know there
would be better hardware redundancy with two routers at each site, but
is it even recommended to do such a configuration? I have to consider
every possibly option to save money for my customer (this config would
save the customer one router on each end).
HQ LAN------ R1
---PIX1----------INTERNET----------------PIX2----R2-------Branch LAN

----PIX3---------INTERNET----------PIX4---
Please email me directly.
Thanks,
