[nsp] Some failover config advice.

I have a multi-homed network with a T1 from two different ISP's terminating
into 2 7206's each. Inside the network is hosted a very important website
which needs to be up and running at all time.  We recently got a remote
location where I want to put a web server hosting that website. I want a
fail-over config for that website.  The remote location will have a T1 to
the internet terminating in a 7206. Both sides will be connected either via
a T1 or a Quickbridge 20 from proxim(I also wanted some feedback on these
wireless devices). Both the locations are approx 3 miles apart.

Right now it is only going to be one website-application which needs this
(load balancing cum fail-over feature) but in the near future I will be
making a failover site for more than 50 static websites and 5-10 bandwidth
intensive web applications. So scalability is an important component in the
solution.

I am considering putting couple css11051 at one of the ISP's to take care of
the load balancing and fail-over. Recently someone told me that even 7206's
are capable of achieving the same.

All advice/suggestion(s) are more than welcome.

Thanks,
pkm
