This is my first question, I am brand new in this so please excuse me if I do not write properly or straight to the point.

I will try my best.

These are the devices related to my question:
- cisco2811 (completely access)
- DSL modem
- cisco2900 series

I have access to all except cisco2900.

I guess the configuration in cisco2950 is ok and so simple, no special routing or security task, just a point to connect with the provider and through internet (At the moment is working properly).

DSL modem is pretty simple, just a connection straight to internet like a SOHO (small office home office), with no command line interface or similar.

[outbound connection]
Proventia firewall ethernet ——— cisco2811————ethernet cisco2900 (ISP 1)
[local network traffic] |_________ethernet DSL modem (ISP 2)
[outbound connection]

I am trying to make a simple load balancing between two ISPs with NAT.

I found three possible solutions (for sure exist more).

The starting state is forwarding all the traffic through ISP1, and everything is ok.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interfaz ISP1
and basic nat translation
ip nat inside source static network IP_firewall_to_cisco2811 IP_cisco2811_to_ISP1 /32

A. Use two static routes in cisco2811
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interfaz ISP1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interfaz ISP2

But not working as it supose to be.
When I made a traceroute, the information shows that cisco2811 try to route twice between both ISPs and at the end some pages were not load in the browser.
Maybe I have to add more commands to this solution, appart from the small part of nat inside for these interfaces.

B. Use route-map to both ISPs
But not working as it supose to be.
Should I put default routes even with route-map next-hop ip defined?

ip nat inside source route-map isp1 interface vlan 12 overload
ip nat inside source route-map isp2 interface dialer 1 overload

access-list 110 permit ip host IP_firewall_to_cisco2811 any
access-list 120 permit ip host IP_firewall_to_cisco2811 any

route-map isp1 permit 10
match ip address 110
set ip next-hop IP_ISP1

route-map isp2 permit 10
match ip address 120
set ip next-hop IP_ISP2

C. Use OER, whilst I have no simple solution with static routes I will wait till use this solution, in addition, I am not sure about compatibility between route-map configuration.

Below this lines, you can see the configuration in cisco2811 which traffic can get access to internet through ISP1 only:

When I try to apply the above commands, I lose communication with ISPs from web browser although traceroute still shows correct path and informations to achieve destination web sites.

Why I can not surf internet using both ISPs at the same time load balancing traffic between both.

Traceroute commands are ok.

Thank all of you in advance

kind regards
