I guess there are software solutions outside that java universe that provide a simple way of loadbalancing through/via/with two network lines. So my question more or less was/is: Must it be solved with your Java application (jboss/mina/...) or is it possible to use a 3rd party software solution? I would go for a 3rd party software solution (running beside jboss) that provides a kind of new network interface that wraps the two network lines. So it's completely independant from your java application, does not require additional hardware/computers and is also useable with other applications (pro for future proof?) - Alex
