One FW1 two connections?

[ppayne]

We currently have two firewalls connected via a VPN tunnel. One is at our head office in Leeds and one in London. They are both running NG FP3 on Windows 2000 SP4. The firewall at the London site is just an enforcement module that redirects all traffic back to the Leeds network.

I am looking to upgrade both server to NGX running splat. The head office firewall is currently connected to the Internet via a 2MB link. We were supposed to be upgrading this link to 10mb but my manager has let me know we are now getting two 10mb links.

Is it possible to load balance between two connections using one firewall? If not, do I need two firewalls in a cluster? What is the cheapest and best way to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Yes it's possible, cheapest way is ISP redudancy. You can choose for loadbalancing or primary/backup setup. Use the 'help' function within Smartdashboard for config options and check sk23630 for advanced options.
