Frame relay backup using dsl instead of isdn

[majznerr]

I'm wondering if this is feasable. Isdn doesn't seem

to have the bandwidth that we need. We do have plenty of bandwidth at our hub, and are backing up 256 to 768k sites. Any help would be appreciated.

It is very feasible, but there are security implications if the DSL network is an Internet connection. Think IPsec VPNs in that case.

Think through what you are doing, because unless it is a private DSL network, it is very easy to inadvertently open up holes in your defenses that you don't want. There can also be performance issues with IPsec despite the added bandwidth. Some applications are inordinately sensitive to delay while others will have trouble with MTU reduction when connected.

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks. Is there a place you can point me that will

address some of the security issues, and work arounds.
