Hi all
I have 3 routers where I want to load balance traffic between them, these are between site A and B
They all connect to a core switch on both ends.
I want each router to be a failover of the other,
what is the best method of achieving this ? I want to use static routes from my core.
cheers

if possiable, please use RIP. I think this is good for you. Easy, sample~!
If you still want use static routing. Don't be forget using track for it. It can help you to failover of the other.

How do these sites connect to each other?
What is the handoff (layer2 or layer3) what is the medium (fiber, cat5)?
Is there a carrier providing connection between these locations?

Hi
The sites connect via serial, and layer 2 dedicated links, all which are managed by me.
the handoff is currently HSRP , multiple groups and we route to each router via this address.
Is there a better way of routing this ?
cheers

Better is a matter of opinion, but if you are looking for the best/easiest way to load-balance, then you may want to use GLBP. It inherently "round robins" load-balances to each arp request for the gateway address.
