[c-nsp] 2 Internet connections for small office solution. PIX ?

[Dave Lim]

Hi,

If you are looking to load balance the 2 internet connection with 2
different range of public ip address for both incoming and outgoing,
you'll have to use a device that supports dynamic NAT. Radware
linkproof supports this.

Else you can get firewalls like fortigate that does only OUTgoing load
balancing.
