WAN Loadsharing - Linux-based

[Shadow07]

I am looking for a project or comercial product that is *nix based that will load-share WAN connections. Something like FAT PIPE, but in a *nix version.

Does anyone know if this exists? I have searched Freshmeat.net, and found nothing.

Thanks.

Shadow,

While I'm used to using routing (several routes to the same destination but equal cost) to accomplish this maybe linux ipchains can help?

What king of load sharing are you trying to accomplish?

I want to be able to use two different ISP's to increase the pipe to the Internet. I have a VERY slow Cox cable connection (non-residential connection) and a ADSL connection. I know that I could use FAT PIPE to achieve this, but the product costs a few thousand dollars.

Shadow,

I don't have any experience with them, but these are usually recommended for your scenario...

Close, but I'm looking for the software part. I have all the hardware I will need. But, someone has to have come up with a GNU or equivilant license for the code (in *nix format).

To say the least, my boss is a cheap bastard! :|

Anyone else?

So I take it no one knows.
