Load balancing Inbound NAT addresses

[ohareka70]

Hello,

I have two sites with 100MB internet pipes to both from the same provider. Half of my NAT ip addressing is done on site A cisco asa 5585 and half done on site B cisco asa5585. My direct access application is coming in on site A and the NAT is on site A on the fw.

Is their any option to have load balancing of internet services coming inbound to my network. I think my dilemma is how to get the traffic to route via site B using the same nat address.

Their is a layer two link between the two sites and the dmz's. Outbound is working fine using HSRP and route maps.

Could i put a layer 3 router outside my network on each side to load balance the incoming NAT ip addresses - would that even work

any ideas would be good, Kevin

I'm struggling to understand what you are trying to do.

Do you have a web application (like a hosted web site), located at site A and B, and you want inbound web traffic to these two servers balanced across the two locations?

Philip - that's correct.  I have a Direct Access server located on my dmz at site A.  It has a NAT address for remote access.  What i would like to do is have either load balancing or even high availability via site B.  I can get the server replicated ok onto the dmz at site B.

I have layer two between my firewalls and also between my dmz switches
