I just got my dsl in with 16 web addresses. But the cable modem is still faster. I hooked both the cable modem and the dsl to a hub, ran the hub to outside, then the inside to my network. I would like the dsl ip addresses routed thru the pix to the web server inside.

Is this possible?
 
Dougnc,

So you now have a dual homed Internet connection. Cool.

The only problem is that to use both of the ISPs you'll need to put a router in front of the PIX. A router could try and load balance over those two connections (chances are this will not work well because you can't get routing information back from either the cable or dsl networks).

The PIX will only send traffic to the (1) default gateway.

Liberty for All,

Brian
