[asterisk-users] Dual Wan Router with Failover

[Jordan Kirby]

Dean,

A small Linux box will make a very effective router (and firewall if
required) and give load balancing/failover capabilities. I've done it in
the past (many moons ago!)

A link from my bookmarks: http://lartc.org/ - can be a little scary
depending on your knowledge of ip routing and linux but there are plenty
of examples to help!

Hi Jason,
I was looking for an external solution outside of my asterisk box so
that I can load balance my other website/email traffic as well.

 
Cheers,
 
Dean
