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.=20 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?
