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.

Thank you!

Network Design; multiple internet connections, segregate traffic, add redundancy

Asked by jswan in Network Design & Methodology, Network Routers, Windows Networking

We have a single site with multiple servers and about 25 users. We host our own website/client portal, MS Exchange, Terminal server and VPN for remote workers. My goal is to segregate internet traffic between the servers and workstations. I want the servers using Connection 1 and the workstations using Connection 3 with Connection 2 as a potential backup. My thought is to put multiple subnets on the servers (172.16.1.x and 10.10.1.x) and use a default gateway of 172.16.1.254 which points to Connection 1. The workstations would have the 10.10.1.x subnet assigned to them via DHCP and a default gateway of 10.10.1.254 which would be connected to connection 3.

Connection 1; T1 & Fixed wireless (BGP solution provide by our ISP)
Connection 2; Fixed wireless
Connection 3; Broadband cable

My questions;
(1) am I on the right path or should I be setting this up differently?
(2) What is the best way to add connection 2 so the workstations have redundant internet access? I was thinking a dual wan router might be the answer, suggestions?

Expansion;
We might have a second site in the future that would be used for off-site backup or some sort of replication. Most likely I would want to use Connection 2 with the servers to accomplish this.

We have a Cisco pix 506 that I would like to replace so I'm open to suggestions on new equipment, needs to be commercial grade. I'm open to ISA if it's a fit.
