I'm actually looking to do the exact same thing for our office (load- balancing 2 DSL connections, in our case). Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible under 2.2 -- you need to be able to do stateful filtering to be able to track which sessions should be going out which interface. It's possible to load-balance the two connections in 2.2, but the remote end has to be able to reassemble those into one stream; and since you have 2 different providers, that's not gonna happen. :( Otherwise, the packets will just get balanced willy-nilly and you'll end up having, say, an SSH session that receives every other packet from a different IP address. I could be wrong, but from what I understand, it won't be possible without the stateful filtering in 2.4 (or BSD <g>). -- Ben Reed a.k.a.
