The WAN links are inside the firewall. (behind NAT) We have four T1's in BGP at one site, two T1's in BGP at the other. The chances of a complete outage at either end that is not the result of a backhoe is pretty slim. In the event of the backhoe I'm sure that my P2P links will be down as well anyway. I just want to be able to say that if, for example, my Internet router dies at one end the traffic can route back through the PRO network to the other site's connection. It sounds like that is possible. I'll just have to get the old Watchgaurd out of the picture at the older site. ;)

If so you can do what you want by costing different links etc. Bob -----Original Message----- From: Chris Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 1:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [gb-users] Gateway Selector If it was outside the firewalls I would just do some cool stuff with the P2P links and the routers directly. I'm just hoping that I can gain some additional redundancy here. Both sites will have fully redundant links protected by BGP anyway; so it's a long-shot for them all to be down.

Congdon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 1:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [gb-users] Gateway Selector I think if you put the WAN on the EXT of the firewalls it would work. However, to gain access into both systems from either location, you'd need to set up a point to point VPN which would waste bandwidth unnecessarily. However, from a security standpoint you'd be OK because both sides of the WAN would be protected by a firewall. Just thinking out loud here... Maybe there's a much better way of doing this, but since I've never done something like this before, I have no idea for sure.
