How about something like this:

to make it automatic and not worry about IPs, etc.?

Should be fine as long as you don't have them both on at the same time. I would use an outside DNS server so you would not have to change them later in the event that you need to start sharing your other Internet feed. Worst case you may need to reboot everything or wait till ARP caches up with the IP to MAC change. It's possible that ARP may not catch up and you need to reboot your key devices and some customers. Those icey climbs don't seem to make it worth while to me sometimes when the power is out. |

What I'm thinking of doing is setting up a couple of 5GXi (what HGA sells) for a link, running nat on the T1 side of the link and connecting the 5gxi to a router with an IP address of .254 (T1 side router is .1). In the event the link to the t1's goes down I could turn off the T1 connected router and change the cable router to .1 (I'd have to setup multiple dns servers on the clients to make this work though). Is there a big hairy reason this would not work? Everything is bridged, so network paths would not need changing.
Thanks, Pat |
