Re: Dual WAN Cable/DSL configuration question

Hi Cris,

thanks for the reply. The web based apps are hosted elsewhere, and we
required the web to access them so had no way of using them. The issue was
due to hardwhere issue on the ISP end?

Back to your post, i thought i had seen some posts where Dyn DNS could be
used and bindings on the Router could be set up for MX records etc? Also,
even if i did have the Static IP, would know how it is configured?

Many thanks again,

If you use residential DSL for failover you cannot (at least for 99% of the
residential DSL services) run a mail server, webserver, etc over Residential
service. Furthermore you most likely cannot get a static IP for the
residential service for the reasons just listed.

You're second broadband connection needs to be static and business class.

Was this due to storms in the midwest...or just a screw up by the cable
company?

You said you rely on web-based apps, I hope you don't mean running on your
SBS server.

Hi all,

Ths weekend, our company was stung by 'not-so-apparant' Business class
technical support. What this meant was that we had not Internet for 5 days
and being as we rely on web based applications-we were stuck!

So, management has agreed for me to purchase and implement a Dual WAN
configuration so that we can be redundant for our web apps and after
looking
at a couple of posts, i would like to buy the Xincom XC-DPG502 router for
this ($120 from Buy.com). My questions is, can anyone help with the config
of
this? We have a Static range from our cable company and would like to get
a
Residential DSL line for failover, but was unsure of how to configure the
router to enable this (DNS, E-mail etc)?

Sorry for the long post, but i do this voluntarily for a local non-profit,
and would like to get it right first time if possible :)

Thanks in advance for your help,
