Yeah, pretty much. We have a /29 so I can add more lines and assign them an address out of my pool.
Im trying to figure out how in pfSense 2.0 I can balance traffic across these lines so I can have their total combined bandwith available to my users (so 2x2Mb lines would allow me download at 4Mbps)? --James.
