how come nobody objects to the idea that sharing a dual DSL connection
sits better on an appliance rather than hosting it on a box with moving
parts?

SPI Firewall

there's a project in sourceforge called balance:
Balance is a simple but powerful generic tcp proxy
with round robin load balancing and failover
mechanisms. Via shared memory its behaviour can be
controlled at runtime using a simple command line
syntax.
Ya might wanna check it out.
