Hi, Took a good look at that link, sounds like it might do the trick. However I am curious about something... We have 5x 512kbps SDSL lines. Totalling 2560kbps. Is there any possible way to "bind" these lines together to make use of a full 2560kbps at once? Because with the round-robin method, it will pick a random address from the pool (in this case, one of the 5 lines) and utilize that which will only achieve 512kbps at a maximum. I have heard of extremely expensive cisco solutions to do similar to this, but we've already forked out enough on hardware and connections so we're trying to do this part a bit cheaper. Look forward to hearing any ideas you might have.
