You might want to take a look at this ( http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/ ). It has a net balencer feature which is suposed to be able to handle mulitple incoming connections. I was hoping to use it to munch our Sovernet T1 and our free comcast but never found the time to test it.

I know enough about networking to keep my internal network up but I'm getting into deeper waters here. Here's the scenario. I'm in an office with a split T1 currently. Half phone, half data. The office is growing, so the number of times the pipe gets clogged during the day is increasing and it's getting annoying. I've got to keep the static IP as we've got email, ftp and a couple of minor web servers running. The current firewall is a SmoothWall Express v2 that Stan setup several years ago for us. What I'd like to go is get a cable modem tied into the office to provide some cheap bandwidth for the majority of our data needs during the day. The servers have static internal IPs, the desktop PCs have dynamic IPs, so they're easy to tell apart. So, any suggestions on how to setup a firewall/router that will send the traffic from the desktops out over the cable modem while letting the servers have the T1 bandwidth? Many thanks, Rene -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= René Churchill [email protected] Geek Two 802-244-7880 x527 Your Source for Local Information http://www.wherezit.com
