Hi!, actually i have few days trying out how to enable interface bonding (http://linux-ip.net/html/ether-bonding.html) 
on one of my networks, i actually have only two ethernet interfaces... one is a direct line from the ISP (Adsl), and the 
other one is inside my network, so the router is another machine... (Pretty much the same i guess)

What i want... is my server A, load balance both links... this network is not a big one (only 80 Users... ) but on 
another one... (another building) i've got arround 700 users... and 7 ADSL lines...  and there would be a really big 
difference if we could load balance at least 3 links... 

I've been working with many guides i've found on the internet... about ifenslave and stuff... but none has worked yet... 
tough... 

I've seen also balance (http://www.inlab.de/balance.html) but is not what i need...

also... as a side note... when i configure my bond0 device... i dont have any idea of what to use as a gateway... 
since... the server A should be going to be the new router... at least for testing....

I'd like some advices here... if anyone has some ideas... before trying something like this: 
http://www.firewall.cx/ftopicp-15193.html (Imagine that with... 4 links at least xD)

Thanks in advance!
