Please, this is like trying to learn how to do open heart surgery via e-mail. It is somewhat insulting that you think that network administrators have such boneheaded jobs that you could actually learn networking fundamentals from posts on a mailing list. Please, do youself a favor and spend the next 3-6 months immersed in a number of networking and routing fundamentals books. >If the upstream packets can be send through a >supposedly "working" load-balancing FreeBSD router, You can't load balance in this way, there is no such thing as a working freebsd router in this kind of configuration. >it >will only handle upstream packets.., i.e. the router >may be able to balance the upstream packets... > No, it cannot - because it is still sourcing them from two different IP addresses. >Now, who's going to handle the routing and balancing >the downstream packet?

You need to learn about networking fundamentals, your understanding of how networking operates is simply incorrect, that is why it's not making sense. Actually the funny thing is that I understand what your asking, probably better than you do. And I keep telling you that it's impossible and why, and you are not grokking the answers I'm giving you. I just cannot make it any more basic as to why this will not work. >I am just >trying to figure out what I can do to optimise two >ADSL uplinks. > Internet Cafe's are not known for generating large amounts of upstream traffic. I doubt that upstream traffic is bottlenecked. >If there are other things I can do to optimise it, >please give me some pointers. Read some books on networking before trying to play network administrator, please.
