Topic: SME to attend two Different ISP

[veebr0]

Hi to all,  the idea of this topic is to explorer some specify configuration in order to guarantee that the SME serve will have the opportunity to balance two specify wan connection, bellow the laboratory:

The Main Idea is to have the capacity to connect two different ISP directly to my SME server but in the same time this server will have the capacity to keep controlling the following tasks:
Traffic Management, Load balancing, Automatic fail-over, VPN fail-over and Provide DHCP to my LAN.

The second idea is to have the opportunity to get some tool that will be provide System status monitoring into this server in order to take specify action when one of both service will go down.

I Know that some equipment do this for me, but the experience with the SME firewall is excellent and the idea in the future is to install Dansguardian in order to keep more safety my LAN area,

I really appreciate your comments
Thanks in advance.

That would be an awful lot of work for which you would need a lot of knowledge on the bowels of SME Server as well. I suggest you do not go there unless you really know what you are doing.

If you go that route please open a bug for it in the bugtracker and attach your changes to that bug, creating a bug for every package you change.

You can buy a TP-Link router that does WAN balancing for a few hundred dollars -- much easier than making SME Server do something it wasn't designed to do.

or, maybe, you can save those few hundred dollars and try pfsense http://www.pfsense.org or search for another solution.. look also vyatta.. http://www.vyatta.com
