You werenąt able to convince them to use a linux router? If I

route<br>for handling our firewall/router situation. I'm looking for
suggestions on<br>which one(s) we should consider. Our needs are really simple right
now. We<br>need port blocking, DNAT and masquerade capabilities with the added<br>requirement of having a single external address map to multiple
internal<br>addresses in a round robin load balance situation.<br><br>I need to figure out which models would work at what price points. I
also<br>need to make a proposal with the ability of redundancy such as HSRP or
VRRP<br>capabilities. Yeah, I know that our upstream provider would need to
support<br>this but I need to make the proposal. I will talk to our provider to
find<br>out if they support the technology.<br><br>So, what routers will do what we need? By the way, we only have two
sets of<br>lightly loaded web servers to handle for now. The traffic is not
sufficient<br>to require beyond what a couple of T-1s would handle (yes, it turns
out<br>that we do have bandwidth monitoring on our servers).<br><br>So, what should I be looking at for redundant and non-redundant<br>capabilities?<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>Bob<br> <br>--<br>"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with
