Multiple Wans

[chrisbe]

Hi,

I have both a T1 and a cable internet connection coming into my house.

The T1 has 16 public IP addresses.
The cable modem sets in front of a regular NAT router and I use a
10.x.x.x subnet.

All my machines are either XP Pro or XP 2003 Server (I have a domain).

Originally I was using an Edimax multi-wan router to try and get some
kind of load balancing but it didn't work very well so I finally
removed it.

I was thinking I would multihome all the network cards on my
workstations so they can use either the T1 or the cable connection. On
the server I would just use the public IP addresses.

Does anyone have another suggestion to set up some kind of load
balancing for the workstations?

thanks
