I've just had 512k ADSL put in, and useing E-smith with it works puuuuurrrrrfectly :-)
But now I'm greedy.
Is it possible to load balance two ADSL connections with e-smith?
If so what hardware / Software would you guys recommend??
Thanks for your time

Hi,
what do you want to loadbalance, lan -> outside oder outside -> lan?
to speed up the internetaccess for the lan, you can install to different proxy server with round-robin.
for outside -> lan (webserver...) have a look at http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org

Sorry I should have been more specific.
I want to add a second ADSL connection to the same server so that we can load balance the internet from the inside.
I would like to make it so as that any data requests from the inside will be equally balanced on both modems..
So that my account doesn't exceed its monthly allowance on one modem, it evenly spreads it between the two.
The server does not behave as a web server so that is not a consideration to me.
Each account has a 3 gig a month limit so the ability to track what goes to those modems...
Once again, thanks for your time.
Marcus
