Load Balancing with 2 DSL lines

Stefan Onken
Hello,

in one of the latest issues of the German computer magazine CT they tested routers which handles two DSL connections for load balacing [1]. A UK based provider is offering a similar solution  [2].

Is Astaro able to handle this kind of service as well ? Search for Load Balancing I only found solutions based on services or DMZ.

Thanks
Stefan

    Hi Stefan, 

    Astaro can do policy based routing, which means that you are able to send specific traffic to a second internet uplink like:
    - dsl line 1: everything (using default gateway)
    - dsl line 2: http and https and pop3

    Astaro does currently not support multilink ppp or dynamic multipath routing.

    i hope that helps, 
    regards

    Gert

    Gert,
    you are saying ASG doesn't support DSL aggregation?

    I think that's what he's saying. [:)] If you want to use more than one internet connection you have to use policy based routing.

    I have heard of people using Xincom Dual/Multi WAN products in front of Astaro before with good success, but have not tried it myself.

    Yes we use a XINCOM DUAL WAN DPG503 router and I see NETGEAR does a similar one ...
