Hello All,
As the internet becomes more critical to daily instructional needs such as the
use of online applications how is everyone handling their internet failover. Is
there anyone using two different vendors to provide internet failover? What
hardware/software are you using for this?
Tony-
We are currently using our Sonicwall 3060 with Enhanced
Firmware to provide load balancing between two 5 MB circuits from two
different Internet providers. All works pretty well. My only complaint
is that once you do have a failover (for whatever reason) the Sonicwall

You can also use the Fortigate 60 Firewall. It comes with Dual WAN support.
Actually Jeremy may sell you a Fortigate 100. Fort Dodge had a issue with the

through an internal proxy. The Fortigate logic would route
No, the problem with the Fortigate was that it would not load balance.
The failover worked, but the Fortigate would only route traffic via

Yes the load balancing did not work on your network, but if I remember it was
