I'd love to know more about this... I've got access to do just that, but don't know where exactly to start... We use ADSL which is delivered over ATM transport - we have mini FreeBSD boxes on the client site, and a FreeBSD box as a router in the colo as gateway - we're setting it up to do mesh VPN routing, and packet filtering, etc. but I guess we are in the right position to set something like that up for anyone wanting more bandwidth... The nature of the ATM transport is that A can see B and C can see B, but A can not see C (atm path restrictions - it would have to be routed or bounced off B, and although I've heard people mumble about /32 subnetting, I'm not sure how that would work) A--ADSL---\ B --- Internet C--ADSL---/ Thanks. m/ > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Joe Hamelin > Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 3:02 PM > To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: 2 adsl connections load balancing with natd/ipfw > > > > It's not an easy solution at all.
