This topic has somewhat been discussed in the list and was wondering what
others were doing about it.
Meaning, if we have two external lines, ISA can not automaticallly sense the
failure in one line and switch over to the other line. This has been
discussed several times with the answer being you can't without extra
equipment and cost. Something small businesses may not be willing to spend
until the pain gets real bad.
So the question is, how are others providing redundancy and do you switch
lines or just wait out the down time?
Besides switching the external lines on the ISA box and reconfiguring the
external NIC and rebooting, has anyone come up with a more elegant, read
that as quick and cheap, solution?
Reason for the inquiry, a customer does a lot of transactions online and the
line went down for over 6 hours the other day causing them alot of anxious
moments.
