setting a different Internet connection for different users
I have two different Internet connections and I want one group(s) of users to use connection A (T-1) and another group(s) to access the internet thru connection B (7 Mb DSL) Currently, everyone uses the T-1 thru an ISA server. I just had the DSL installed and want to migrate my exchange server and a small group of users to the DSL circuit.

do you use a switch as the best way is use a vlan and setup the different internet connection on the other vlan you will need both internet feeds in to the switch and your switch needs the ability to do it so if your switch does not have 2 wan ports you might needs one that does I mean my home draytek can do that so its not hard

thanks, Dani - I think that is exactly what I am needing.
My network (designed and implemented by someone else 5 years ago) has 19 VLANs, using 8 stacks of DELL powerconnect 3448 switches, some stacks have 3 or 4 switches, a couple of them have only one. Since we have less than 400 devices on the LAN, it would seem that 19 VLANs is quite a few too many. In a month or so, i am hoping to reduce the number of VLANs to three and use just one large subnet instead of 20. Since I am new to VLANs, this may be challenging, but in the long run it will make everything much simpler and more easy to manage.
