yes, you may balance on the basis of connection, or on the basis of packet. In fact, you may do any type of routing/balancing/unidirectional/bidirectional thing you might like to do. The following will route each *packet* out a different port. ip route add equalize default \ nexthop via DSL1-IP dev eth1 \ nexthop via DSL2-IP dev eth1 If you remove the word "equalize", then it will send each alternate tcp stream out each port. DSLn-IP are the addresses of your DSL connections, and eth1 is the assumed local interface pointing at your DSL modems. please report your success and/or problems with this, so I may amend etc. /steve ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
