If you're going to recommend a pair of Cisco routers, then why not run GRE over IPSec? You can run EIGRP over the tunnel interfaces, and configure either equal-cost load sharing across the links, or use variance to proportionaltely allocate traffic over the links according to the expected bandwidth. If you want to keep some conversations pegged to a particular link, you can policy route those host/network pairs, while still maintaining failover if that link dies. You don't even need NAT/PAT in this scenario if the private address ranges don't overlap.

A Modular Snake Robot 103

StCredZero writes "Researchers at CMU are working on a Modular Snake Robot. A video from this site is up on YouTube. In addition to being able to traverse a wide variety of terrain, the robot can also climb poles, the inside of pipes and conduits, small grooves in walls, and probably more. It can also swim. Many robots can do one of those tasks. This one can do them all. That's quite an accomplishment. This has tremendous potential for the maintenance of fiber optic networks, pipelines, and plumbing in large buildings; and also as a spy device. (I wonder how loud it is?)"
