Depends on who you know AND if it is for a business. I guess
I should have been thinking a little better, since I did not ask if
this was a home or business. For business use, you can make
arrangements with the cable folks to run BGP. I know, I have done so.
For those who care -- BGP does what the person was looking for -- real
load balancing and alternate path routing. It is NOT easy to setup or
maintain, but when it works, it works nicely. For a pair of T1's, or
cable modems, if you will, you can get almost close to the theoretical
3Mbps (hey, nothing is perfect -- you can't even get 3Mbps on real T1's...)
And the other beauty of it, you lose one of the lines/modems and it continues
to work...
I have to admit, even though I have (somewhat) quietly lurked on this list
for sometime, I had
to through this one in... Sorry, I was just not thinking clearly. I did find
the answer about "switching" the default route as the NIC detects traffic a
very clever concept. If someone ever gets that to work, I would love to see
it...
cheers
