Hiya Guys,

We have a highly available and load balanced  of Endians, and I dare say you could probably fix the problem by using similar methods...

We only use our Endians for web content filtering NOT FOR VPN

We have two Endian boxes.

Our Internal DNS looks like the following:
Quote
endian1.network.local = 192.168.1.10
endian2.network.local = 192.168.1.11
proxycluster.network.local = 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11 (TTL set to 2 minutes!)

Our external DNS looks like this:
Quote
proxy1.network.com = x.y.z.10
proxy2.network.com = a.b.c.10

We set our network users proxy to proxycluster.network.local, and if we have a problem we can just delete one of the hosts our from the Round Robing A Record, otherwise we have load balancing on our proxies.

We do have high availabilty on our VPN with a commercial product, we did this by using a similar approach, short TTL times, and multiple A name pointers to end points.

It's amazing what you can do with DNS ;)  This may not be exactly what you're looking to do I do appreciate that...
