Lots of options. Buy a $500 ASA and do auto failover to secondary connection. Have MX records on both. Or a link balancer if you want to use both at the same time and put it in front of your existing firewall. We are going to try out the Barracuda in the next couple weeks in conjunction with our VM View rollout.

Anyhow I'm thinking about having an other redundant Internet connection, what's the best way to accomplish this, preferably automatically. Internet browsing is relatively easy to switch pats in my Router if 1 connection goes down but how about Mail and our web site, since these are incoming connections. Any ideas? -- Stefan Jafs ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
