In my humble opinion you, (as usual), excited yourself......:)...looking
at Greggo's mums home vid again?


Rainwall for ISA 2000 was unbeatable, (apart from the manual solution),
reasonably easy to set up and was as reliable as the hardware that ISA
was installed on...:))

Extortionate pricing though. A lot cheaper to get up off your butt and
switch the Internet connetion manually....:)

So, Steve got me all excited about the Xincom DPG503 Dual WAN
load-balancing, redundant WAN router with in-box L2TP VPN support.
Seems 
like a great box, but most user reviews put it as a POS.   I've got high

speed cable as well as business DSL, so having a box that can
auto-switch between connections for redundancy as well as load-balance
between the two in normal operations is a real plus.

If this thing works, it would be like this:

Comcast                   PacBowl
    |                             |
    |                             |
---------------------------------
|         Xincom Dually         |
---------------------------------
                  |
              | ISA |
                  |
---------------------------------
|            ThorLAN              |
---------------------------------


As it is, I have assets split between both networks (2 wireless
networks,
etc) and I would love to put it all behind a single outbound connection 
supporting 2 ISP's.   Steve is getting his DPG502 in shortly, and I'll 
totally trust his opinion to all the mofo's posting to New Egg and
Amazon about the box, but I want a backup plan.  How does the
RainConnect software piece for ISA work?  Is it a separate ISA box for
each connection in an array?  What's the topology like in an environment
like that?  Would I put RC on my ISA box, or a separate box with both
connections in it?  How much does it cost?

And are there any better "hardware" solutions for dual WAN support from
Netgear or Cisco?  I know I could google for all this, but I would
rather get the opinions of those I know and trust here.

thx
