Thanks for the input Grant, we have kicked around the idea of BGP or a similar method for the routing but the issue is that NAT takes place at the box doing the multiwan. We only have a few external IP addresses and all of our connections are from different vendors so they are spread across several different IP ranges. My first though was to create a tunnels between the machines at each location and put the tunnel adapters in a routing table with a prio > the local routing table. This would allow data to:
client --> main gateway --> routing table mpath to any gateway on the network --> internet as available I have a feeling this would cause some very very bad problems with return paths and I don't know what would happen if a tunnel were to fail or something of that nature. The system is basically many many wireless repeaters, access points, and clients spread across about 60 square miles. It crosses 3 LATAs and is within range of at least 10 different ISP's who all use different providers. The idea was if we could instead of bringing the traffic all back to where it goes now be able to go wherever was closest/least busy/etc and hop on a DSL/Cable/Wireless/whatever we can pick up for cheap bandwidth it would take some of the traffic from individuals doing whatever they do off the DS3 durring the day for businesses and schools to make use of.
