Re: [squid-users] Re:Re: [squid-users] How to setup two ADSL line on a single linux box?

Yes, it is possible to load balance two ADSL connections. You need a software called shorewall installed on your squid box.

At the moment state it's not possible to load balance two ADSL Lines (normally for endusers there is only one DSLAM Port reserved by the telefony carrier)but in germany there is a big discussion about this. (reat in the CT Magazine) They plan to implement (as it was possible by ISDN) channel bundled ADSL Lines. But this require special hardware on the enduser and and at the telephony carrier (here in Switzerland: Swisscom)...side of course. > >in near future it shoud be available for moderate prices (and therefore endcustomers can profit from this), let's wait and drink thea :-) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
