Two Internet Connections on a Single Network

[IrritableTech]

We are considering a Smoothwall box so when/if that is put in, perhaps we could route both our connections out via it. But we can't currently.

 

A correctly licensed and configured smoothwall should do what you want (not just smoothwall either). Perhaps this all adds weight to your plan over moving supplier and getting the service you require.

 

Being able to chose and run your own kit would also help you with the web meeting which won't run over your primary connection due to proxies and policies out of your control.

The question was around a failover connection where the filtering was hosted by the service provider of the main connection. Main connection filtered, backup connection not filtered. Those running local filtering wouldn't have this issue.
