I.E.: Who is on the other side of the multiple DSL/Cable links to filter the traffic across the associated pipes so as to "balance the load," so to speak? It can be done, however, without an upstream, or maybe a vps that is being used as an external gateway, you will not be able to get the different session traffic to load balance across the multiple links, when downloading. At least that seems to be the situation, without some nifty DNS tricks. I have not seen how the "appliances" get around this, however, it took me this long for either list that I was on, to even admitt that the theory was not stupid, and to engage me in productive inquiry. If you find anything else out on this topic, please let me know.
