$locate bonding

/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/bonding.c
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/bonding.o

Among other things (on my RH8 system). I have no idea how well this
works or how much PITA.

 works or how much PITA.

It works very well and is simple to setup.  But it only works for
ethernet and requires a corresponding configuration on the switch.

It has to be a single switch and it has to support etherchannel,
link aggregation, port trunking, channel bonding (or whatever other 
name the switch manufacturer decided to call it).

The alternative, if you have intel cards, is Intel's Advanced Networking 
Software (possibly you only need one intel card to get this to work).

Hard to see how bonding could work for 2 DSL lines (but I've never tried
it).  Might be possible with the intel software depending on the DSL setup.

Please check out LARTC - http://www.lartc.org/. The HOW-TO has examples 
dealing with the situation. You will have to apply some patches ( 
http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes) to your kernel and recompile if you want 
dead gateway detection in addition to plain load balancing. I have done 
it and it works great.
