I have been wondering this for some time now and haven't seen anyone pose the question so i figured it's time.

I have a single dsl connection coming in _not_ terminating on the normal cpe but going directly to my firewall (OBSD 4.0) via sangoma s518 dsl card. I then have a few nics for routing to different lans, DMZ etc. The question is, is it possible to create another firewall put a dsl card in the machine, split the phone line running the same dsl signal into each box and use carp, on the dsl interface, to provide failover / redundancy or would i need to get a dedicated dsl router and then run the two machines into a hub connecting to the dsl router? (which still leaves me with a single point of hardware failure)
Thanks in advance,

aaron
