Re: [FW-1] How to connecto to 2 ISP's?



As far as I know, Linkproof use very little DNS TTL so in case of a link
failure, the DNS entries should get updated very quickly around the world

Wow,

never thought my little mail would spark such a thread :-). Thanks for al
the replies!

So I have two options: BGP or the Radware box.  The BGP solution seems to be
the best one but also the hardest to setup.

1 question about the Radware solution: for incoming connections to my mail
or webservers the Radware box will use DNS to distribute the load over both
links. However DNS queries get cached all over the Internet for periods of
days or weeks if I recall correctly. So if one of my ISP's goes down this
would mean some DNS servers on the Internet might still be caching
ip-addresses from that ISP so on the average half of the traffic won't be
reaching my servers? Correct?
