Load balancing w/FreeBSD.

I keep reading, but never see a really = good answer=20 to this.

Two Internet feeds (dls/cable) on=20 ethernet.

One FreeBSD box running:

natd

named

squid

transparent proxy

ipfw

dummynet

Does the Linux multipath thing work = with=20 FreeBSD?

I've seen the even/odd IP number idea - = odd IP's go=20 to interface1, even IP's go to interface2.

Gated?

Zebra?

balance?

If I can't really "load balance" can I = somehow tell=20 squid to alternate requests from each Internet port?

Thanks,

James Taylor
