Uhhhhhhhhh.... Isn't this what we're talking about? We're talking about
adding another box in front of the ISA server to do the routing/load
balancing, it is not being done on the firewall.
As for adding a second interface to a router being a trivial thing, I
will have to disagree with you (at least in our case). We have no
routers left in use here, the ISPs tie directly into the ProLink box
now. I could dig out the old Cisco 3640 that has been collecting dust
for years, but I doubt I could get that "upgraded" enough to do that
task for under $10K, and then I wouldn't have as nice of a
product(functionally speaking)...

If all you are doing is redundancy and maybe a little load balancing,
why are you even doing this on the firewall? This should be at the
router in front of ISA. It is trivial to add a second interface to a
router and do per packet, per session load balancing, and/or implement
priority or route weights for redundancy. Let the router route. Let
the firewall be the firewall.

In Minneapolis... *grin*
When we got the $30K-$40K quote, we didn't have a choice but to
keep looking...

I just spent $34k for 2 BIG-IP link controller with installation
v. Astrocorp Pro 100 @ $2995. Where was Astrocorp when I was
researching this?

RainConnect isn't being sold/supported anymore, which is why you
cannot find it. We recently switched from that to a PowerLink Pro 100
from www.astrocorp.com <http://www.astrocorp.com/> . It does pretty
much everything RainConnect did, and is far cheaper than some of the
other alternatives we looked at.

Dear All
I have ISA 2004 Standard on windows 2000 server as Firewall and
proxy server. I have 2 MBPS link terminated to ISA server from ISP. We
have dependency on one ISP only when ever it goes off work stops. We are
planning for some redundancy of bandwidth.
What option can we go for bandwidth failover? I had heard of
RainConnect but don't find it anywhere on internet now.
Please suggest few options to meet the requirement
Sincerely,
Shamshad Ahmad
