The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Transition from single home to multihomed solution

Asked by nabeel92 in Network Routers, Network Design & Methodology, Disaster Recovery

Tags: Transition from single home to multihomed solution

Hi there,
I've attached my network diagram where I've tried to give the big picture of a 'Dual-homed Single ISP' solution since their traceroute meets at the same device on the very next hop. How can i make the transition of this network to a multihomed network. I've thought that I can use a Router (keeping things simple for now) and have it connected to the internet using another ISP. Connect the inside interface of that router to my DMZ and LAN switches separately ? Would that be correct solution ?

Now, secondly (and this is a potential flaw i see ) all the major services are hosted on the DMZ; the DMZ has a public subnet. Our ISP (Telstra) is responsible for routing traffic to this DMZ subnet statically (not BGP) . Say when I connect the router that i've proposed in the diagram attached to another ISP and connect its inside interface to DMZ, how is that ISP going to find out on how to route to this DMZ subnet; this is obviously assuming a case of failure occuring at first ISP and we need to use this second ISP. I can route traffic from inside--> to internet fine; but how about traffic coming from outside the internet to this DMZ ? How is this second provider going to know about it about this public DMZ subnet. Which things are in our control and which things are not in our control in such scenarios is also another query ?

Any further info. I can provide, let me know. Your help will be appreciated -:)
