Subject: Question about migrating to IPv6 with multiple upstreams.
I have an interesting situation at a business that I am working on. We =
currently have the office set up with redundant connections for their =
mission critical servers and such, and also have a (cheap) cable modem =
for general browsing on client machines.
The interesting part is that the client machines need to access some =
customer networks via the main redundant network, so we have a firewall =
set up to route those connections via the redundant connections, and =
everything else via the cheaper, faster cable modem. NAT is used on both =
outbound connections.
With IPv6, we are having some trouble coming up with a way to do this. =
Since there is no NAT, does anyone have any ideas as to how this could =
be accomplished?
In a nutshell: how do you have 2 upstream connections, and choose =
between them based on outbound destination?
thanks,
-Randy
