We recently bought a 2621 router with 3 Ethernet interfaces. We also got a DirecPC satellite dish to serve as a redundant Internet connection for both our LAN and web servers (no ISDN, DSL, or cable is currently available here out in the sticks, so we were stuck with satellite). The three networks connected to the router are: 10.22.0.0 (primary Internet connection), 10.21.0.0 (DirecPC connection), and 10.20.0.0 (our LAN). All networks have are subnetted (255.255.0.0). Right now we are still running on our primary connection which is a cross-county fiber line to the ISD, who is our ISP, which in turn has a multiple T1 circuit to the phone company. My next step is to be able to configure the router to be able to route all Internet traffic to 10.21.1.2 (DPC proxy server), on port 1111. I would like to be able to accomplish this without having to configure the proxy settings on every PC, only having to worry about having the default gateway set on each PC on the LAN, and letting the router convert it to proxy (port 1111) traffic, if possible. The ultimate goal is to have the router automatically choose best path between the two links (undoubtably it would choose the primary connection, because the latency is hugely lower, but it'd be best to have it automatically switch to the other link once it detects the primary link as down). From what I've learned and been told, best path selection can only really be used with exterior and BGP routing protocols, where it would choose between two autonomous systems. Well, not only are we a single autonomous system here, but we also are a private network within a single autonomous system. So the current plan is to have two configurations on a TFTP server on the LAN - one with the router set to route only to the primary connection, and the other to route only to DirecPC. The only problem with that is that it's not automated - IS personnel would have to be notified of a downed connection in order to load the appropriate config file. Having said that, I'll post our current config file:

I would like to thank in advance anyone who can help me tackle this!
