Hi All,
I need to do a load-balance with two Internet connections, using a Cisco 2611 and a PIX 515e.
I have two links
first with 2Mbps - encapsulation ppp
second with 6Mbps - encapsulation ppp
And the PIX that make the NAT/PAT.
I tried to send the http traffic to the second interface configuring the pix to make another NAT/PAT, but when I did the other NATs PATs, that I use my vpn and exchange on the DMZ inteface stop to running. Follow the PIX configuration:
nat (inside) 0 access-list nonat
nat (inside) 2 access-list edi 0 0
nat (inside) 1 10.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.xxx.xxx.0 0 0
nat (dmz1) 1 192.168.xxx.0 255.255.255.0 0 0
global (outside) 2 200.xxx.xxx.xxx
global (outside) 1 200.xxx.xxx.xxy
global (outside2) 1 200.xxx.xxx.xxx
the global outside2 is not working, only the global outside.
Any kind of help will be great.
Thanks in advanced.

For Internet connection load balance, you have to make a deal with your ISPs. Usually you have to use IP Portable/your own IP and each ISP will advertise your IP at their BGP router.
And then you can create a load balance for your Internet connection.
