We have a 5 MB Ethernet connection from Frontier, our local telco, with 28 ip addressed on it.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pearson, Jeremy Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 8:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [info-tech] Handling Internet 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 will turn it off and work just as you think it should, until the circuit comes back up. The only problem is that it will not start load balancing again over the failed link. It still relies heavily on the link that stayed up, until you do a reboot of the firewall, and then everything goes back to normal. It is not a big deal, and since it took care of the whole reason we installed it, I am fine with that. We just reboot the firewall at some point late in the day, and all returns to normal. Not much to see, but feel free to run over and check it out, or ask any questions.

Is there anyone using two different vendors to provide internet failover? What hardware/software are you using for this?
