Actually this is just for test purposes.  You want to be able to do
this, otherwise to test a VPN router which can do 256 tunnels you would
need 256 client machines.  The setup worked for my Field guy in Taiwan
follwoing my instructions.  Niether tunnel dominates.  If I set up all
the routes and run traffic through one tunnel, either one it works.  If
I try to push traffic through both using the smartbits tester it
fails.  

The next step will be to try with a PC and see if I can ping through
both simultaneously and then to file transfers using wget, but because
of the success with my instructions in Asia this just got dropped from
item 1 on my priority list to about number 23.  I've got to reduce the
RAM footprint of our system for one customer, and also modify an
ethernet driver.  Those are priority 1 and 2 right now.


Thanks for all the suggestions guys.  When I get back and revisit this
I'll let you know what I find.
