Hello, I've been pouring through the email archives and have been doing a lot of reading trying to determine what the proper method is to accomplish what I want. I run a small online service that has multiple connections to the web via different isps. The connections are not symmetric. Initially, I'm dividing up the connections for different tasks and each link is split among different machines in my network (have two small CIDR blocks). >From what I've been reading, to accomplish properly load balanced connections, I would need to attain an ASN and run BGP externally, and (maybe) OSPF internally. Internally, I have a single net with a very simple setup (all simple static routes pointing to one of two gateway machines) - unless necessary, I would like to remain statically routed (keep it simple). Is my conclusion true, or is there a simpler way? Thanks in advance. Tony
