Dual nic config

Hello all,

Here is my question: Can we hook up a 2100 to our LAN for local vranger backups from vmware, and connect the 2nd nic to a DSL modem for internet and replicate to our second offsite 2100?

Our issue is this; right now we have the 2100 just on the LAN and it gets internet from our main connection at HQ and shares (or HOGS rather) the bandwidth with all our other systems. This is causing our phone system (shoretel VOIP) to degrade greatly during replication due to using most of the bandwidth; FYI we have really fast cable, but this office hosts everything for HQ and 10 branch offices. We have another internet connection (DSL) that is not being used at all = so can we use the DSL for Replicate for offsite , but use a LAN connection for our normal local backups (which is what gets replicated offsite)??

thanks all!

Clay
