However, as the dsl lines are most probably not to IP addresses in the same network, it is quite unlikely that you will succeed. The problem is not whether or not you can configure your system to do so; the problem is getting the rest of the world to recognize that your return packets should be routed back to provider 2 even though your packets came from provider 1. > That would give me the best of both worlds currently. > Since I'm using masq., does that complicate things? > Would I be better off using Kernel 2.4 with it's advanced features? For routing that is a non-issue. All advanced routing stuff was in 2.2.17 already, but the traffic control stuff didn't mature until 2.4.
