Alan, I have done this type of thing with everything from Mikrotik to ImageStream to Cisco (YUK). 1. What type of circuits are the 2 wan connections? 2. How much overall bandwidth do you need to route (could be answered by #1) 3. By "load balance", do you mean NAT or a BGP type load balance? Depending on the answers to the above question I can provide you with a better answer as to which equipment is best. There are, of course, low grade consumer devices that can do this, but I doubt that's what you were looking for. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * WISPA Board Member * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
