A Challenge to Network Guru

[jcombalicer]

ituation

Branch A
Internet Connection: PLDT DSL

Branch B
Internet Connection: Bayantel DSL

Branch C
Internet Connection: N/A

Connect Branch A and B thru VPN using DSL and Use Fail Safe Connection thru wireless.

Problem: Since Branch A and B are connected wireless when Branch A experience an internet interruption it will get its Internet Connection from Branch B and Vice Versa.

Question: Is it possible to use a load balancer to add the internet connection from Branch A to B using wireless and Vice Versa.

Note. Branch C will get its Internet Connection from Branch A. It will only act as extension of Branch A

Yes.. it's call unequal cost path load balancing... the challenge for you is to figure out how to make it work.

 

[folken]

That would require rediculous network rigging. Load balancing connections at the same site is hard enough, adding different sites to the equation would make it insane. I dont think it would be a good cost/benifit ratio. The money used to try and make it work could be used to just get a faster connection.

I'm thinking you have other ways to do this and cheaper..

Do you have any servers running?

Can you explain it a little more on what exactly you want to do?

I'm thinking you want each location to have access to both internet connections should one go down?
