We went through this same thing several years back, BGP is a large hassle that is really not necessary these days, you can get devices made by several vendors that handle this type of high availability / load balancing. Radware's LinkProof, F5's Big IP are a couple, and there are many more. No need for ASN's no need for a full /24 network, it all works via DNS.
As long as you ignore: - DNS Caching (frequently requiring a client restart - yes, those clients are broken - no, we can't make users fix them). - Existing connections will be dropped ... Sure. But be _very_ sure you understand what the costs are if you avoid the real BGP solution. -- Carson _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
