Hey all!
Looking for a way to create a robust VPN between 3 sites that can seamlessly maintain connectivity that can tolerate the loss of any one ISP at each site:
1. Each site has 2 ISPs (2 DSL connections and static IPs per site). ISP reliability is crap here so we need backups.
2. Each remote site needs a connection with the main office, but each remote site does not need to be connected to the other remote site.
3. Bandwidth requirements are close to none, as we only have <10mbps connections.
I need to know what is the cheapest setup/appliance/firewall/vpn router that can do this.
Current VPN is setup via IPSEC and with cheap 5-10 year old DLinks that are dying, and is currently very vulnerable to single ISP failures. Apart from this, we have no managed switches of any sort. All are of the unmanaged 10/100 variety.
All the local Cisco resellers are trying to sell me up to ISA device or firewall that cost more than all the computers at the remote sites put together for just one unit, any they are telling me I need three...
What are the most cost effective options do I have at this point? Linux boxes?
Other possibly relevant information:
I have a pair of RV320s in the mail, as a stopgap solution in case the DLinks die off tomorrow...
Thanks!
