Hi,

Is it possible to "loadbalance" a PIX 515e with two different ISP´s, connected to different "outside" interfaces?!
 
I implemented a solution similar to this, customer had two links to 2 ISP's, and wanted to load balance outgoing traffic across both routers.

I ran OSPF on the Internet facing routers, and used that protocol to generate a default route. I ran OSPF on the pix (6.3) and it picked up 2 equal cost default routes, from the external routers. This allowed load sharing. Both router were connected to the outside interface of the PIX.

PIX OSPF in ver 6.3 supports upto 4 equal cost routes.
