Hi, I've got a client with two ADSL connections for redundancy. Is it possible to set up asterisk to connect to one SIP provider using both adsl connections and load balance between the two connections? Or to use one connection as the main one, and automatically fail over if the first connection drops? Or does this kind of thing need a serious network switch? Thanks Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20101102/e07c7510/attachment.htm
Your router would have to do per-destination when it came to load balancing between the two dsl circuits. That way a single call could only use one dsl path.

Much easier. (The 2820 has one ADSL port and one WAN port which will run pppoe to the 120 modem) However if you're up for it, then 2 separate ADSL modem/routers and read this: http://lartc.org/howto/ specifically section 4.

The adsl lines are with separate providers, so that won't work.
