RE: [info-tech] Internet connection
Jermey Could you send me a snapshot of your Failover & Loadbalanced page on your Sonicwall please. So i can compare my settings to yours. thanks Mitch Mueller Network Administrator Emmetsburg Community Schools Emmetsburg, Ia 50536 mmuel...@emmetsburg.k12.ia.us P: (712)852-2966 C: (712)298-0596 From: "Pearson, Jeremy" Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 5:10 PM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] Internet connection Well, we have tried it a couple of ways over the years here in Dodge. We are using our local telco to provide us with a secondary connection. So, we have a 5 MB ICN Ethernet connection and a 5 MB local telco Ethernet connection, for a total bandwidth of 10 MB for our District. When we first implemented the solution, our local telco gave us 1 IP address. That works if all you want to do is provide one web server, one e-mail server, and the Sonicwall will allow you to trick everything into working fine. Problem was, as time went on, we were needing to have several websites and various servers available to the public, all of the time on either network. So, almost 2 years ago, we upgraded our connection so we had a block of 30 or 40 addresses on the telco side, which allowed us to map out each server that was needed. As long as your firewall settings are correct (it took a little time to find those oops items), it works fine, with nothing needed from you. Our internal computers point to an internal DNS server, and it doesn't care which connection it goes out. Scott hosts our external DNS, as we have a DNS server on our local telco side as well. The Sonicwall handles all of the load balancing, failover and all of those things, which both Internet connections come into. It takes a little time to setup, but is worth the trouble. To our end-users, today was just another day.
