Load balancing

[SQLScholar]

Hey all,

We are looking at getting SDSL with an ADSL backup for the company i work for.

Can anyone reccomend a router which can take both lines, and ideally load balance (if not a backup) the lines?

Also what cost are we looking at?

Also how do they normally balance (does it work on HOP count or can it weight the lines?)

TIA

Dan

there are a number of Dual WAN routers, just google on dual WAN router, they will have different weightings, some will allow you to choose the weightings you like.

Thanks.

I quite like the look of the XC-DPG503. Anyone had any feedback on this?

The other issue i have is that i have a netpilot plus (which i hate!) but i cant get rid of. I wondered if i turned off the VPN on the NP, and then turned off everything other then the VPN and the line sharing on the Xincom - could i get them to work together.
