3 Internet T1's Into 1 PIX

[bblaze1]

I am bringing in 3 T1;s from my current ISP, on 2 different routers. 2 T's on a 3640 and 1 T on a 2620. I have my outside routes set up as follows:

outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 (IP of 3640) 1 OTHER static

outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 (IP of 2620) 2 OTHER static

Am i getting my best performance this way?

Both of the routers are managed by the ISP and running BGP. I just want to make sure that I have the Metric in the PIX set properly

If your just creating a backup route, this will work.

If yo want to do load balancing, It won't. See the posts from the previous entry

I must be missing something. I am unable to access the actual internet routers as they are managed. Will I be able to do load balancing from the PIX itself?

If I remember correctly, you can only have 1 default route with the pix. Something you may want to try is to place a router in between those 3 routes and your pix. Make this router your PIX's default route, and then use the router to distribute the load accross your 2 ISP routers. You have many choices on "load-balancing" (to the best degree possible in this situation) in this setup (static routes, dynamic routing prots, both, etc.)

local director might work in this situation, or round
