I'm currently running a 2621 just behind the 827(s) which is doing CEF load distribution. I plan on putting in a 2800 series router with the firewall IOS. Do you know if there is a way you can do PPPOE on a sub interface? I plan on having up to 7 ADSL connections in front the the 2800 series connecting via 827's or whatever else works best.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan.
