[c-nsp] Fwd: Load Balancing two different ISP's

[Chris Hale]

Only way to get close without BGP is to use a Fatpipe or Radware Linkproof
box of some sort.

It's basically DNS trickery (IMHO) by shortening the TTL on the IPs you
advertise through DNS.

Maybe to help put this in perspective... dual BGP to each ISP would be
nice etc. etc..

But in this case, this is a small business that is internet dependant -
but having said that, they won't spend a lot on Internet.... old story
if you ask me..;)

Anyways, their total internet bill monthly is $140 for BOTH ISP's put
together ($70/each) .... having them buy just an 1800 series Cisco was
hard enough but they didn't want to "cheap out" too much..

$500 for the ASN?  That's likely less than a month's bill on one of the
connections being load balanced, for any size connection that the OP
would want to balance and the 1800 could handle.
