Hi Joseph,
Go with a second connection that is from a different provider. Usually
the telco and the cable don't go down together (at least in my area), so
have the DSL and cable back up each other is a great solution for high
availability.
HTH,
Tom

Hi Thomas,
That really does sound like a great solution! I gave up my T1 last Aug
since it was way to expensive.
It was nice to have good support though. It never went offline for more
then 5 minutes.
Now I have cable 4up 4down with ISDN backup. I'm going to see about
having another cable connection to the place or DSL. Things are getting
more busy for me and it's always nice to find out about new options from
KB folks like yourself on this list!
Thank you,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
For Web and Server Publishing, the remote client only uses one line,
since as you pointed out, the client doesn't have a load
balancer/aggregator in front of it and DNS only assigns one of the IP
addresses that you've exposed to the Internet. However, external users
are randomized to one connection or the other (if you have two, if you
have 10 Internet connections, it'll randomize users to one of the ten
external links).
So, it does do a *lot* for Web and Server Publishing because the
incoming connections are evenly balanced among all the Internet
connections. Cool! :-)
The source IP address is that of the link that services the outbound
connection. Unless, of course, you use RainWall with RainConnect, then
you get NLB too. With both RainWall and RainConnect, you have
transparent fail over and fault tolerance for both your Internet
connections AND ISA firewalls. Whoa. :)
HTH,
Tom

I've also wondered that.
Both, lines would have different IP address's. So, someone using
1 ip address to look at your webs would need to have the response
sent back along the same path.
I would think that rain connect works best for multihoming structure
for surfing out bound. And what Ip address is sent to sites that you
visit?
The exteranl ISA ip address?
Thank you,
Joseph

RC doesn't actually bond the lines, does it?? Isn't it more like the
old
inverse multiplexed algorithm used to bundle lines together to provide a
syntesized single pipe? I mean, don't you really have twice the
capability
at 1.5 than twice the actual bandwidth?
