OSPF as far as know, can do load balancing .. you have to check with
your ISP first though.

you can use Zebra or Gated to handle the routing ..

hacking the kernel ... whow ... don't know about this one :)

cheers

The problem now is that all the lines go to the same ISP, and will have all the same netmask. In addition to that I would like to share the traffic on these lines, at least on a round robbin basis.
