I have a customer that has a sbs server that used to send thier email
traffic to 1 dsl modem and all internet traffic to another. When they moved
to a new building this was changed back to 1 dsl modem . They now have use of
another internet connection and would like it set back up .. The reason they
are doing this is because they have a big project due and the building is
letting them get on thier fiber provider back bone for a few days . I would
of like all traffic to go the fiber but the provider does not have reverse
dns and all out bound emails fail. so I would like to keep the email on the
dsl and the internet traffic on the fiber



Any help would be fantastic.
Thank You
David

Why not use a dual port WAN router that could direct say all traffic
from/to SBS box over WAN1 (existing connection) and all other in and
outbound internet traffic (internal client workstations etc.) via WAN2
(fibre).

If you have ISA that might complicate matters somewhat...

However, try searching for Load Balancing.

Obviously, nobody there remembers how it was done before...

The dual-WAN router is one way to go, it might be also worth checking
with your current ISP account to see if there is use of a smarthost
included. This would allow mail to be sent from an IP address from which
mail would not be accepted directly. If not, depending on how important
this issue is, they might consider renting a smarthost for a minimum period.
