We see this all the time on the Zebra and Quagga mailing lists. In a word, it's not possible. I've told numerous people it's not possible on these mailing lists and been sworn at, had people tell me I didn't know what I was talking about, etc. etc. None of these people who were insistent that there was a way to get it to work ever ended up doing so then coming back and saying 'nanner nanner nanner, I was right and you were wrong' While your introduction of a second server 'in the internet' is an interesting variation of this question, it's still impossible. IF you get multiple DSL lines from the SAME isp, and assuming that isp is setup for it, you could theoretically run multilink PPP. Most people in your situation end up just setting NAT's on their DSL lines and use the same internal IP range for each NAT device, this creates multiple default gateways on their internal networks, then they put one of the default gateways on half of the machines and the other default gateway on the other half. Quite obviously for a single FTP or whatever transfer, this isn't going to double the speed. But if you have a bunch of systems on your LAN it works OK for splitting the load.
