Currently:

The core routers and the firewall's use OSPF to distribute routes to one another. The firewalls have a VRRP (CARP) interface on the side with the edge router for High Availability. On the side facing the Core Router as they use OSPF they can't use VRRP (CARP) so I use routing metrics to provide high availability. All the VLAN's are on the same Cisco Cat 2950.

Planned Upgrades:

I have a Cisco 2610 and Ethernet module on order to replace the 2500. Currently the 2500 only does static 1-to-1 NAT and not much more, it was mainly put in place so I could place more with IOS. I have more plans for the 2610....

The Experimental OSPF Router is an OpenBSD box with a couple NICs that is going to be the backup for the Core Router until I get my Cisco 2620 with multiple ethernet ports on it. OSPF metrics will be used to provide failover.

Assuming I know you from school due to the D-Link access points and that lovely Sheridan laptop called Lappy, I am intrigued by your network infrastructure .. it's sophisticated for a typical home user but then again how else are we going to learn networking without going above and beyond everyone else

Everything from what I am seeing is fine and dandy, but I am confused on why there is 2 firewalls between the 2 routers? My initial thoughts were to somehow load balance traffic from one wire into 2, but I dont even know thats possible (since I am not experienced with Cisco shit), but I would love to hear your answer.

Thanks,

Deep Dish

P.S.
I'm the dude with the same R51 as you, however it's got Linux, a whole lotta RAM and a whole lotta HD space then you
