RE: [FW1] Two Internet links in one FW1 box

[Luke, Jason (ISS Southfield)]

The easiest thing you could do is to buy a RadWare LinkProof box.  both ISP
connections would plug into and it would provide high availability between
the ISPs.  It could even do all your NAT for you.  There are probably a
bunch of other methods, but that is one that works.

Subject: [FW1] Two Internet links in one FW1 box




Trying to figure out something.  I want to install a second Internet Link
with a different ISP, in order to have redundancy and improve throughput
(load balance is not a primary concern, but would be very welcome).  What
should be my concerns regarding FW1 4.1 configuration?

- Do I _have to_ install the high availabilty module?  Or is it possible to
configure my FW1 and Solaris to give me some kind of link redundancy?
- If anyone does it, how complicated will get the rulebase, if  want to
send the traffic from a few services (eg SMTP, POP) exclusively through one
of the links and the rest to the other?  Is it possible?
- Is this a stupid idea?  =))

Thanks in advance for any help,
