Hi,
When reading several posts, I found much info about load balancing...
but this is something I don't need.
What I would like to have, is to route all internet traffic through
one interface (an PPPoE session), and some traffic (terminal server &
smtp) from the other interface (incoming).
If I read a bit further on, it seems that you best dedicate the WAN
interface to the actual traffic, to be able to use the most out of
packages...
And, that OPT1 is for the other interface to allow incoming traffic to
our terminal server and mail-server.
Currently I have one xDSL connection, that will be for all common
traffic, and I have one SDSL connection to allow my external
co-workers to join the terminal server. (the connection will be shared
for smtp traffic - for that I shall use QoS to allow my terminal
sessions to be the most priority).
To put it simple (I think), is that OPT1 should be treated as incoming
traffic, and WAN should only be used for outgoing traffic (eg.
internet, radio, downloading, ...)
Hope this makes sense... kind regards

This is entirely do-able and we have a number of commercial support
customers who run a setup very much like this. You may also consider
configuring your WAN to fail over to your OPT interface in the case of
the WAN interface going down. This will ensure mostly uninterrupted
Internet access for your LAN clients.
