AN> The basic problem is that each ISP is only going to route traffic to AN> the IP address they provide you. Since it's highly unlikley that both AN> providers are providing the same IP you have to use NAT. When you send AN> traffic out of your network, it has to originate from one or ther AN> other IP address and response traffic is only going to come back to AN> that IP address, thus only using that DSL line. You can certainly send AN> the next connection out the other DSL line, but again, it will only AN> use that one DSL line. --------------------------------------------- Could this not be circumvented by using a server in the Internet as second Gateway. If I route all traffic (both lines) from my LAN Gateway through a VPN to a second Gateway NAT it there and only then go to the Internet. The Net should just see the second Gateways IP. Or am I talking crap ? *a bit confused here* Hexren
