All my switches are IBM managed switches where I have gui interfaces that allow for controlling the ip segments via the switch. They also have the ability to block specific port requests. I wonder with some experimentation If I could get something working.

If you're looking for something that's "self-aware", then you'll have to spend some $$ on additional hardware or software.

Does any one else think that this might work?

Add IPs from both schemes to the ISA external interface (primary internet connection first) Use the primary int connection as the default gateway for the ISA server. Dead-gateway detection has problems on ISA, so you have to write script that continuously checks status of internet connection, and changes IP, gateway, and DNS on external interface. You can publish on both external IP's (I've done it with server publishing, I assume web pub will work as well), so you do not need to modify ISA publishing rules. You can even load balance (sort of). If you use a DNS caching server and/or SMTP relay server in front of ISA, you can forward that traffic through the secondary internet connection. You can even run VPN through the secondary connection. Remember to add persistent routes pointing to the secondary internet connection as the gateway for the external servers (DNS/SMTP) and the VPN subnets. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Chyril <mailto:Mike@xxxxxxxxxx> To: [ISAserver.org <mailto:isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Discussion List] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 07:17 Subject: [isalist] Multiple Internet Sources http://www.ISAserver.org We are purchased a 10mb fibre connection.. but would still like to use our cable internet as a backup. Is it possible to add a 3rd nic to our ISA box and add the fibre ip's to our web/application hosting/publishing? Anyone done this? ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jschwarzkopf@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: cismic@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: cismic@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
