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. > > 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 I do not understand the referance to $ 30 000. Even here a Cisco 2600 with 4 - 2 Mb/s interfaces is only about $ 3000, and a 3640 with 8 is about $ 13 000. Tim.
