x2 Broadband connections - 8.Feb.2012 8:20:20 AM

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes:

I have a single SBS 2003 server with Exchange 2003 and ISA server running on it. We have around 20 users connected to this domain. The server is operating with a single NIC.

This server also has a Blackberry server connected to it which connects to Exchange to forward the emails to the Blackberrys.

We are moving office and we have two broadband connections in the new office (we had only one before). I wondered how/if it would be possible to have all email traffic routed through one broadband connection and have all other internet traffic go through the other broadband connection. In essence I would like to balance the available bandwidth in some fashion.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

David.

Balancing the bandwidth in the sense of combining the two connections isn't something you can do.

From inside to outside it might be possible, depending on your hardware and it's config. But inbound... Inbound traffic goes to one IP address, and thus it will only connect to one line.

What you can do that comes closest, is configure your network to use one line to send mail, and let the other line handle inbound traffic.
