Were you publishing any servers on the ISA machine? How well did the Nexland 
hand server traffic?

I am would like to have two mail server addresses (one pointing to each WAN). 
Then have the Nexland box forward both sets of mail traffic to the same ISA 
box. I would then publish one email server on the ISA box. Sounds like I should 
be able to do this?

Yes, for a short time.
We had it behind 2 Sonicwalls using different Internet connections, and in
front of an ISA server.
The only problem we had was accessing the Sonicwall admin interface -
required at least 70% load distributed to that port. (Tech support is very
responsive and they sent us newer firmware, but we never got around to
testing it). However, failover worked fine.

Have you or anyone else out there tried the Nexland ProTurbo?

If you subscribe to Network Computing, or SANS, or one of a dozen other
independent security newsgroups, you'll find that LINUX security is
extremely immature, especially compared to Microsoft products (compared to
what's out there and the customer base, MS gets a bad rap).  Putting a LINUX
machine in front of
an ISA box might work in a lab, though without 3rd party software to provide
that load balancing I'm not sure what benefit you'll see.  But putting in
production won't last long without it being compromised.

There are several ways of handling this.  Jim Harrison has provided some 3rd
party options.  Nexland ProTurbo is another cheap alternative.  Or you can
ask your ISPs to provide BGP.  Or if you feel like doing a little hard work,
you can script failover and provide a semblance of load balancing (services)
without any 3rd party option.

But LINUX?
