I have been using this RV016 router for a few years and it is been fine. My internet connection is a T1 line. I have several public IP address, all pointing to various servers, routed through 1 to 1 NAT.
I'm considering adding a second WAN source via Comcast Cable Business Service.
My first issue is conceptual I guess. Is there any way that if my T1 which has all these public IPs, goes down, the outside world could get to those servers? If so, how? How could ANY internet connection ever be backed up by another one, when it comes to static IP addresses?
My primary reason for adding the second WAN is because we just dont have enough bandwidth, and the cable service has a lot more bandwidth than the T1, and is much more affordable.
2nd question: If the first is not possible (as I suspect) Can I just set certain outbound sessions to use the cable WAN? For example, trying to9 watch Youtube videos is painful dueto lack of bandwidth. Can I set it up such that any request to Youtube would be routed through teh cable instead of the T1?
I suppose more questions will come up, but if I get these answered it might point me in the right direction.
Thanks
John
