Thanks for the pointer Maarten, I should have skimmed a little more
thoroughly :)

I'm a bit confused by the second suggestion though, at this site there
is one router, (for one dsl connection) with one Ethernet port on the
lan side, so I am certainly going to need to put something in between
the router and the two ext GB interfaces.

I don't see how the ISP can help with this?

Hi Richard,

Have a look at the chapter titled "H2A on Two Subnets" in the manual
(http://www.gta.com/downloads/external/50/General/H2A_Guide_5.0.pdf).
This covers the situation you're in. You can configure the H2A setup,
but since you only have a single public IP you won't be able to
manage the standby firewall from the internet.

Regarding your second question: depending on your ISP, you might be
able to get two uplink cables, connecting to different switches on
your ISP's side, thus increasing your redundancy.

Regards,

Maarten Vink
