Ah... Yes it would... In the same way that it's useful having IBM host the Olympics website at multiple locations around the globe. They all have different IP's... The way it works is by using a DNS server that will return more than one address... RR is the easiest method (You could build something smarter & test the response from the server to the client down both paths & use the quickest/ and/or least loaded) and have 50% of the requests come into one and 50% of the requests come into the other.... You also need to do advance routing, so that traffic to ppp0 always goies out ppp0 and traffic to ppp1 always goes out ppp1 as well. Not impossible. But does depend on you trying to speed up MULTIPLE connections at once, and not just have a single big pipe for single connection speed... (I've skipped some assumptions as well probably, since I don't know 100% what you're doing over the links). >BRING ON SDSL!! ... easyNet do SDSL, but they haven't unbundled our >local exchange.. > > Yeah.
