Title: RE: [FW1] One firewall, two ISP's, automatic failover for VPN pos sible ? WARNING: Off-topic LinkProof
question
I have
heard LinkProof referred to many times as a direct replacement to BGP.
This seems viable for outbound connections, but I don't understand how such a
device could provide inbound redundancy. I guess the closest thing you
could use would be round robin DNS, providing about 50% failure rate during an
outage. However, I can accomplish that same 50% failure rate without the
help of LinkProof during an outage. Even if LinkProof somehow dynamically
modified the DNS tables, you're still up against caching servers on the internet
that are designed to ignore TTLs and hold on to invalid
records.
Am I
missing something?

Radware's Linkproof can do that without the hassle of BGP. I talked to Rainfinity about their Rainwall product doing that, but they will only balance outbound connections so it is not really a viable solution. Anyone else know another product to load balances ISP I would appreciate hearing about them. Only solutions that work in both directions. -----Original Message----- Talk with your ISPs about running BGP on your lines and
