Uplink Balancing - Can the RED use more than one WAN connection?

Hi,
I am thinking about using a cable modem for additional bandwidth and as a backup in case my T1's go down. I have an ASG220 in the main office and a RED in my remote office. My concern is that the ASG hostname is the IP of my T1 WAN link. Is the RED smart enough to know to use the secondary WAN link if the primary becomes unavailable? Or can the ASG Hostname field support more than one IP address? Also, can the RED use both WAN links at the same time for additional throughput?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben

Actually sadly not in the RED config directly. Only workaround is to use a dyndns host fo the active uplink and use this in the RED.

Thanks for the info Sascha. I'll have to look in to DynDNS.

As long as the RED has a link to the IP or domain name listed in the ASG Hostname, can it use the bandwidth on all of the Uplink Balanced interfaces? Or is it limited to just the one interface?

It just seems like such a waste when I could put that extra bandwidth to good use.
