Hi all, We have a PIX 515 connected to our T1 line. We want to add a DSL line so that we can do a load balance between the two ISPs. Can I do that with a PIX Firewall? I was able to accomplish this using a SonicWall 2040 Pro using its two WAN ports. Thanks, Al
PIX with two ISPs

Sorry, but that's not possible. PIX is just a firewall so you need more equipment to do load balancing.
Thanks for you reply. But the SonicWall 2040 Pro is also a Firewall. I heard rumors that PIX IOS 7.0 will be able to do the load balancing between two ISPs using the E0 and one of the DMZ port. Is that true? Thanks, Al
I'm not using 7.0, but you can check this issue from Cisco's documentation:

Maybe with PIX 7.0 in ACTIVE ACTIVE mode. Not sure but I suggest yuo get it in google.
