Ok, I asked already asked something similar to this in the past, but it's not the same thing... maybe it's a trivial
question...
If I had two lines to the Internet: how would I use both?
Could I just provide two default routes? How?
What algorithm would be used to choose among the two?
What if one failed?

 bye & Thanks
