We have two T-1's we'd like to load share (load balance - whatever term you like to use). We bought a load-sharing LB-2 VPN router/firewall from Hotbrick. The setup went well, and it does a great job of load-sharing, but the router frequently locks-up, and it also drops our VPN connection to a satellite office frequently (as many as 5-10 times a day). So, it is unreliable for whatever reason, but we're looking for something else now.
Any suggestions on an economical router that will handle load-sharing and VPN's? This router needs to be able to talk to Cisco Pix 501's without a problem. Our Hotbrick is talking to one of the Cisco's, but not reliably.
It's too bad, since I'm not a Cisco/router guy, I really appreciated the UI on this router. It is the easiest one I"ve ever used.
Checkout http://www.hotbrick.com if you want to see the router we currently have. It is the LB-2 VPN router.
