Load balancing on 2900 series

[lcaruso]

Hi,

For a 2900 connected to two ISP's, how can I load balance traffic from an inside ASA to the ISP's so that traffic is more or less evenly distributed and also failover is taken care of if one ISP goes down.

Thanks.

Hi I tried this scenario in GNS3. Its does not work as mentioned in that link.

All wise the Inside traffic is getting nated to 1^st ISP link only. If I shutdown that 1^st ISP link then Inside traffic is getting nated to 2^nd ISP link. How I can make effectively load balances between those links.

Hi When I instate traffic from inside to outside with different destination ip address at that time load balancing is happening between 2 ISP .
