one url 2 IP's is clustering the answer?

[tangostar]

I want my one URL to be connected to two IP's. Two different ISP's. Is Cliustering the solution or is this something I need my ISP to do?

No, you want load ballancing. Will you have one server at each ISP, or two IPs on one server, each IP serviced by one ISP? If you can describe your setup more clearly I'll be able to give you a better answer.

all IP's from both ISP's will reside on an in house ISA server win2K advanced SP4.
I'll then uses NAT to redirect to in-house servers.
Everything is currently with one ISP but I need a backup route and if i can use it as load balancing that's a plus too.

I think what you are trying to do is more advanced that what ISA was designed to do. From what I understand you want someone comming into your web site to select which ever ISP connect is available. That should be done through PGP routing at the router level to announce network config changes. You'll want to check with a network engineer about that though.

PGP? I thought PGP was for encryption and authenication stuff.

 

[mrdenny]

PGP is for encryption. I beleive that the network routing protocal is also called PGP. I might be wrong on this, since I'm not a network engineer, and this was a while ago that I was talking to him about it.

It's fairly common for different things to have the same initals these days.
