Hi all,
We have a PIX 515 connected to our T1 line.
We want to add a DSL line so that we can do a load balance between the two
ISPs.
Can I do that with a PIX Firewall?
I was able to accomplish this using a SonicWall 2040 Pro using its two WAN
ports.
Thanks,
Al

Sorry, but that's not possible. PIX is just
a firewall so you need more equipment to
do load balancing.

Thanks for you reply.
But the SonicWall 2040 Pro is also a Firewall.
I heard rumors that PIX IOS 7.0 will be able to do the load balancing
between two ISPs using the E0 and one of the DMZ port.
Is that true?

I'm not using 7.0, but you can check this issue
from Cisco's documentation:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/...v_70/index.htm

Maybe with PIX 7.0 in ACTIVE ACTIVE mode. Not sure but I suggest yuo get it
in google.
