I am running a small community wisp in the wilds of the uk 
Network topology is 3 villages each networked within themselves via the
locust world MeshAP, each village then being connected via a wireless
'provider' node to a wireless backbone 
The  wireless backbone is then extended via a wireless backhaul and
terminates in a local town 
I use `bandwidth arbitrator` to manage bandwidth demand at the internet
gateway 
However one of the villages recently had the local  exchange ADSL
enabled and I plan to connect one of the nodes directly to the internet 
My question is has anybody come across any software that will 
A. Load balance between the two internet  gateways and/or 
B. Provide fail-over to the other internet connection 
I assume multi point to point is the solution to (A) 
My router at the present gateway provides (B), but that means traffic
has to travel up the backhaul to the router, then back down it to the
connected village -not very efficient! 
Any help gratefully received
