Pedro, My understanding is that this will not allow for any balancing on any connections once they are established. Any connection on the first line that is already established will continue to stay on that line/ip address until the connection is dropped and a new one is established.
It would be better if you could get the ISP to set up the lines so that you could have a "shadow" DSL line like I've seen done with T1 lines before. Then this might be a more adequate solution in my mind.

We came across this Multihomed Gateway (MH200): http://www.cyberpathinc.com/mh200/details.htm Does anybody think this would work if installed at the client location handling NAT for 10 Cisco 7960's and connecting to our public asterisk server? My concern (as is others on this list in regards to load balancing) is what would happen if a call had to be directed out the other WAN port of the MH200 or if a call were to come in on 1 circuit and it runs out of bandwidth - how would the call be delivered to the second circuit. Or even if during a call, the inbound audio is fine (since DSL usually has more bandwidth on the download), but the outbound audio stream had to be pushed out the other WAN port. Hope that all makes sense (I almost confused myself! LOL) I am not holding my breath that this is a viable solution, but was just wondering your thoughts. Thanks!
