Dustin,
I'm wondering why this client doesn't simply move the web site to a
commercial host - the economics of commercial DSL lines vs paying for a
web host ought to come down firmly for moving the site to a host and
using a single DSL line rather than trying to configure this.
I have two moderately high traffic sites and a bunch of low traffic
sites - I have the busy sites at an external host and plan to develop
the other sites using the DSL line. Once they become busy then they
will be moved off-site.
For the record, I tried a similar thing earlier this year with static
IPs via ISDN (for DNS, mail and FTP) and an ADSL line for speed. We
could not get FreeBSD to do anything other than route the packets based
on hard-wired addresses ... at least not without sending $BIGBUCKS$ to
CISCO. We've since dropped the ISDN line and moved to static IPs over
ADSL (using EAtel) - I'm very happy with the change and it's quite a bit
cheaper.
