In the near future our company is planning to have to ISP lines, so we need to configure a router with the load balancing option, or either bye a router with load balancing option (D-Link for example).
Now my point is, since we will have two Public Static IP-s, is it possible to assign one DNS Name for two IP-s?
What's more, any one tested routers with load balancing? What is the experience?

Thank you, Toni

but I have always used CISCO equipment. On the lower end of things is the HotBrick Firewall LB-2, around $200. This is a fairly basic firewall/"router" combo, but nice. Im pretty sure all their products have 2 WAN ports (probably all rj45) and do load balance or redundant connections. I would call your ISP and ask them if they have any gear they are use to working with, it can simplify administration down the road in case of problems, no need to confrence call with 2 or 3 techs from all over plante earth to make your router work right.

Hi, if you are interested, I could send you a doc. that I have already configured a PIX Failover scenario with wan, lan and dmz taken in to consideration.

since we are a CISCO shop here. My PIX skills are not very hot, so every chance I get I try to pick up what ever knowledge I can.

Need to add a couple of amendments, then I'll post the complete scenario....
