Hi,
I'm in the process of getting multiple DSL lines (4-8) and what I want =
to do is set up a FreeBSD box as a router handling all these lines. The =
problem now is that all the lines go to the same ISP, and will have all =
the same netmask. In addition to that I would like to share the traffic =
on these lines, at least on a round robbin basis.=20
I could think of changing the routing code in the kernel, if there is no =
other possibilities, but I would rather not go that route if I don't =
have to. So my question is: Does anybody know of any solution that =
handles 4-8 lines and does a load sharing between them, without buying a =
$30k router?
Andreas
