-----Original Message----- From: joe () sendjoeanemail com I've been trying over and over to figure this one out, but I'm just hitting the end of my wits. We have a remote office that can only get 768Kbps
DSL,
which they've not totally maxed out. So management's solution now is
to
buy a second DSL line, but they won't let me buy a dual WAN router (in
case
they add a 3rd DSL line).
Have you looked OpenBSD with pf? You can create rules that map outbound session to a different DSL router, interface, and/or gateway based on any number of rules. The man page pf.conf[1] and more precisely the "ROUTING" and "POOL OPTIONS" section will allow you to create very dynamic rules to define how to handle all outbound routing load sharing. NATing also comes along for the ride. A basic example is in their FAQ[2]. This type of setup is not the most common so a straight up HOWTO is most likely not going to be found. Sorry I am not able to give a more direct and Linux based answer.
