BGP really isn't an issue ... normal IP routing need not be symetric. If you have two NAT firewalls, and the routing decision is made behind the firewalls, there would be an issue because the firewall is probably 'stateful' and needs to see the traffic in both directions. But from outside of the firewall, each packet can follow a different path. That is the normal and expected behaviour of an IP network.
You probably would want to make sure that your default GW identified the faster of the two links.

Most BGP routing at multihomed providers is asymmetric. ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/
