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. > > I could think of changing the routing code in the kernel, if there is no other possibilities, but I would rather not go that route if I don't have to. So my question is: Does anybody know of any solution that handles 4-8 lines and does a load sharing between them, without buying a $30k router? > > > Andreas > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
