Load balance or Backup Internet?

[Ayan Mukhopadhyay]

Hi there, Im new in the forum. I have 2 static IP and 2 dell server which is running cpanel with WHM. my question is.

I have 2 100 mbps internet connection for my servers and my ISP provided me 2 static IP with but some time my internet is down and servers are dead. for this i need a backup internet connection which can be take place automatically when there is no internet in my main ISP.

 

I have another ISP for this but i don't know how to combine them or setup them to make the 2nd ISP as a backup. After searching online i found some Load Balance routers but the confusion is if i connect 2 ISP into the LB router can they use as a backup internet source for my servers bcz my Fist ISP provided me static IP which is linked in my server's IP address.

ISP 1 - SITI Broadband

provided IP - (103.57.247.94 , 202.142.92.190) [As my main server's IP address and cpanel installed]

ISP 2 - Wishnet India PVT.LTD.Provided IP - they dont have any static IP. Normal home broadband.

I don't know if i describe it correctly or not, but if any one please help me it will be great.

 

Thanks!

Ayan

What is your router OS/model? I am pretty sure any enterprise router or any computer with PFsense with multiple lan can have failover wan.

I would go for an F5...but again those are! expensive....  You could try the open source way with HAProxy, they even have very competitive pricing for services and support.

IMO, it will cheaper to buy a second hand computer like second gen or higher i5 and buy 4 intel nic second hand and install pfsense. It may draw more power but it has better customization and you can install IDS/IPS/Proxy and many more.
