Pretty new at this (I'm a server guy) and just started at this company so bear with me. We currently have 2 T-1's, one from Verizon and another from NetCarrier. Each T1 uses it's own router. We also have a PIX 515E (6.3 software). Neither the Verizon router or the PIX are currently in use (that's right, no firewall right now). I'd like to use both routers as a type of failover solution...so that if one goes down, Internet access will still be available out the other router (no need for incoming to be redundant, just outgoing). I'm assuming both inside interfaces on the routers will go into a switch and then into the external interface of the PIX. What is needed on the PIX to do what I'm asking? I've been reading about OSPF, is that what I need to use? And does that need to run on all 3 devices or just on the PIX? Is there an easier solution? Appreciate any direction on this.
