If three different providers, then to my knowledge you are SOL - mlppp is n= ot an option - unless someone here knows something I don't - which is 100% = likely :) Now, that said you can configure your routing to split the traffic amongst = different connections - so traffic to/from certain hosts use connection A, = other hosts use B, etc. You can even get fancy and route based on applicat= ion and host if you wish. Ci$co calls this Policy Based Routing. I'm not = sure if FBSD or another package such as pf allows similar functionality. M= y guess would be yes - but I don't know anything about that. As for "bonding" or aggregating your connections to appear as a single one = - not an option AFAIK.

Thank you Leonardo Santagostini 2010/11/9 Gary Gatten <Ggatten@waddell.com<mailto:Ggatten@waddell.com>> <snip> Also, may be obvious to point out, but all (3) connections "must" be from t= he same provider. In the lab you could MAYBE get a stable/usable connectio= n from multiple providers (with just ppp or 'x' encap) by splitting the req= uests on the egress side - but it's highly unlikely in the real world. In = most cases the traffic load is asymmetrical and heavily biased towards ingr= ess traffic, so even if you could get it to "work" - it wouldn't provide mu= ch benefit. Just curious, what provider are you using? <font size=3D"1"> <div style=3D'border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0i= n 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
