two dsl connections in remote desktop escenario.

[toni]

Hello,

I have two servers with remote desktop services (terminal Server). And I have two diferent dsl connections with two different providers. I have 50 external clients connecting directly with remote desktop, and i don't want to do a VPN.

There's any way to implement a fault tolerance beetween two wan connections.

Thank's.

Hi,

do you mean a primary/ backup scenario where when one ISP link is down then you still can access your server via the other ISP link? Are the 2 links on same router? if so then you can do this:

1) 2 static PAT entries for the server, one going to ISP1 interface ip address and the other to ISP2 interface ip address

2) 2 default static routes: one with AD of 1(default) for primary link and the other with a higher AD(floating route)

3) on the first route via primary track an IP SLA object.

if the links are on 2 routers then you can use HSRP with SNAT.

if you want a config snippet I'll post one for the 2 options.

Regards.

Alain.
