Hi, There are other solutions for multihoming with NAT but I think we are again hitting that NAT against no NAT issue. I think that I should say it now to avoid further flamewars. NAT is not always a possible solution. It may be good to use it in some cases but it is not in others. Those other cases are the ones that this discussion is about. Or at least I think so :) CCNP Boyan Krosnov Network Administrator Lirex Net phone: +359-2-91815

Hello,

have you ever heard for RADWARE solution for that problem? Some RADWARE box can check distance to destination via both ISP's and makes decision from what IP address range have to get address for NAT (of course, customer have to have two ranges of addresses). If connection via one ISP failed, all traffic will be rerouted via another using IP address from IP address range of that ISP.
