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

Ahhh, OK, thanks Scott.  That makes sense.  It sure would be nice if it could support multiple parallel connections/tunnels.

I was hoping for a cheap bandwidth boost by using a "Business class" cable modem.  Right now I have four T1's for 6Mbps at my main office and a 25x5 cable modem at my remote office.  There isn't much competition in Milwaukee (main office location) so the providers price gouge.

I'll just have to tell the boss that the only way to make the connection faster is to buy more T1's.  Oh well, it was worth a shot.
