Are you trying to offer SMB file sharing across the VPN link?
If so, I *strongly* advise you to revisit your plans: SMB is extremely
latency sensitive, and performance is appalling across a link with 50ms
latency, and much worse on anything higher.

Why two interfaces for the DSL connections? That is unlikely to make a
significant difference to performance, and potentially introduces more
points of failure into your setup...
