Load Balancing 2 T1s

by charger media . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

We have 2 T1s serving 2 seperate networks at my facility. I want to switch backbones on one of the lines and tie it into the other one, join the networks together and put a load balancer in front of it. Evidently the networks are tied somehow already, but they are on two different IP blocks. It’s our sister company, so merging both lines together and load balancing them sounds like a viable solution.

My question is, Where do I start?!?

We are running NT/2000 servers, Cisco 2600, and Checkpoint firewall.

We had a line outage today for almost 4 hours which left the owner of our company very unhappy. When I get an email from him simply saying, “this is not good!”, means it’s time for me to present a solution ASAP.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ryan
