Multi connection Internet

[gaztaman]

Long time lurker, first post: Quick query is it possible to load balance multiple internet connections i.e three separate lines each with its own ip address. What's the best way of going about it? We already have a 2950 switch and a 2620xm router.

3 lines to the same isp? Same bandwidth? 1 hop each?

Yeah for example three adsl connections from the same isp. We're living in rented accommodation next door to our friends next year. I was wondering how easy/difficult it would be to create 3x10mbit connection.

Sure, you can load balance with static routes. Here's a quick page on it:

You could perhaps also do ppp multilink but you would have to check with your ISP. Take a look at KiscoKid's multilink PPP config:
