We're a small web hosting company wanting to have multiple routes from separate isp's coming into the webservers from the outside so that if one connection goes down, the other connection can still reach the servers. Can this be done? Is this possible with freebsd as the router? Are there better options from cisco et. al.? I searched the -net mail list archives and found a lot about load balancing multiple servers so one didn't get overloaded, but that's not our problem. We want multiple load balanced connections from the internet into the same server/network. Can this be done with separate isp's? or am I asking for trouble? we currently have a single t1 and are looking at a 2.5 mbit DSL line to augment/backup the t1. of course a different provider means a different network range allocated to us. And here is where things get fuzzy for me. What do i tell internic?...ns1 -->network range 1, ns2 -->network range 2 and have the name server hold an IP from each isp's network range?
