Thanks for the reply, Steve.
Although, don't you think this is a little dirty way? If there's no
other option, that's a ingenious way of finally achieve this issue, it's
not optimal, because it doesn't bear the traffic nor the bandwidth of
each Internet connection...
And you're also right regarding the problems with round-robin and some
Internet sites... I've experienced it when balancing three identical
ADSL connections.
Anyway, thanks for the trick
Fernando
