Hi,

When you say two routes, do you mean:

1: NATed behind the LEAF box.
2: Through a Citrix session.

When you say you don't want LEAF as a single failure point, do you mean
you don't want LEAF to be a NAT'ing firewall for you internet connection
as well as performing the routing and/or tunnelling between your
subnets?

Regards,

James.

Subject: [leaf-user] Network Configuration Ideas

Ok, since CPU asked.

I didn't want to put this on list, because it isn't a Leaf question per
se,
however I'm struggling with what to do with this.

In the simplest terms possible, I have a 4 subnet network, with each
subnet
at a different physical location.  Location 1 has the internet
connection,
and the "core server" (read:Citrix) for all the other locations.

Internet connectivity is via a proxy server on the location 1 subnet.  I
would like to eliminate the proxy, and replace it with Leaf with no
proxy.
The problem is, is that this would give anyone in Location 1 two routes
off
their network.  The connections to the remote subnets are via T1 and
they
all connect to location 1 via a Cisco router which has no free
connections.

Must have goals:  eliminate proxy server, provide one route off of the
Location 1 subnet.
Would like goals:  Avoid having Leaf as failure point between subnet 1
and
the remote subnets.  Avoid purchasing a new Cisco router.

Unfortunately, it seems that my best option would be to put another
adapter
in the Leaf router, and renumber subnet 1, so that everything converges
at
leaf on the old subnet 1 address.  However, since I'm using old
commodity
hardware for that task, and internet connectivity is less important to
the
business than the connectivity between the locations, I would love to
keep
this from becoming a point of failure.

Any ideas on what to do here?  Or have I exhausted my options and I need
to
violate one of my "would like" goals?  I don't know Cisco, but I suspect
if
I did I could make short work of this problem.
