I have two separate 10mbit ethernet internet connections with two different ips.
Is it possible to link these two together so i get a single 20mbit connection?

Like this:

10mbit#1 FreeBSD Box - LAN (20 mbit internetconnection)
10mbit#2 /

Is this possible?
If it is, how do i do it?
 
No it isn't. At least not without a router that costs at least $5K. And even then it's not truly 20Mbps. It's not like you can divide a packet in two and send it down both pipes. --

Hmm.... not sure if this will work, but you can try installing Zebra and using that to route traffic on your box. Only thing I'm not sure of is if it does load balancing (which is what you would want).

Take a look at Hope it helps
