Hi,
I have two Sophos UTM boxes, each with 4 ethernet ports. We have now 5 uplinks from different providers and I was wondering if I can plug one UTM into the other and have them both load balance requests.
it would be like:
UTM 1
eth0: internal network
eth1: uplink a
eth2: uplink b
eth3: UTM 2
UTM 2:
eth0: UTM 1
eth1: uplink c
eth2: uplink d
eth3: uplink e
I know it is easier to buy a box with six ports, but I was wondering if anyone tried that already. I was considering to set UTM 1 as 10.0.1.1 and UTM 2 as 10.0.2.1, then create an uplink group with eth1, 2 and 3 and let UTM 1 do the balancing, with a weight around 20/20/60, then do the same on UTM 2.
I would bet it would work, but then I would only have acess to the Web admin panel if I created a virtual server on UTM 1 to route me to UTM 2, right?
Any thoughts on this?
