Quoting from above URL: - ---->8---->8---- Multiple routers If both your ISP modems are in router mode, you may have issues getting load balancing to work. This is because both the connections will be using the same interface (eth0). (Note that I'm using two interfaces, ppp0 and eth0, so I don't face this problem) - ----8<----8<---- What issues one will experience, hmm...? I did some similar setup with eth0 connected to a hub, and both internet connections (PPPoE) terminating to a hub. And used following command to do setup a default route: ip r a nexthop via $gateway_1 nexthop via $gateway_2 All I need is that interface "eth0" has two IPv4 addresses assigned corresponding to networks of $gateway_1, and $gateway_2 . BtW, did you ever get a chance to verify 'weight' assigned to network routes, hmm...?
