BGP for 2 T1's to one LAN [7:7511]

We are trying to have the web servers in our LAN accessible to the internet via 2 T1's from different providers -- more for redundancy than load sharing, though that matters too. Currently we have 2 T1's, each giving us a different set of IP addresses. That just lets us put some sites on each T

I am reading Bassam Halabi at the moment, this has the information you require. Also think about who's address space you are using? ie. one of the 2 ISP's? or your own?. If you are using one of the ISP's address block, then maybe you will need to NAT on the other router? This might blow your load

I'll take a stab at some of this ... First - If I recall, and I may very well be wrong here, I though DNS round-robin was solely for load-sharing, not redundancy. Second - Regarding BGP multi-homing ... some "gotchya's" that we ran into: You will need an ASN Some ISP's have ne

The answer is: It depends. :) When you make use of round robin DNS your clients do recieve multiple records. This is from a single hit to www.microsoft.com and shows the dns cache on the local machine. www.microsoft.com. -- Record Nam

Thanks. Someone else also mentioned the need for 2 routers for full redundancy. What I'm not understanding is why we need to IP blocks to achieve loadbalancing. That we'd need DNS round robin if we're running 2 blocks makes sense, but why the 2 blocks? Also, are both your lists assuming that t

1 /24 from each provider and round robin dns is not necessary if you get both providers to route 1 /24. So ithe /24 belongs tp provider a, just talk provider b into routing it. If you're doing bgp with them, this is a perfectly reasonable request. Brian "Sonic" Whalen Success = Preparation + Op
