I have freebsd2.1 : but can't find any options in the kernel nor any docs to allow this. Someone told me, that you can setup a gated on both sites which one gated talks to the other over OSPF (gated.conf). But i have never tried this. Mostly it's enough to put the 2 lines together for http/ftp-proxy/cache's. I'm running on both sides harvest-cache's, which uses both ppp-interfaces for transfering some objects. If one interface is busy by a large Background-GIF or a ftp-job from an online-user, the other interface would be used to transfer the Rest. It's like loadbalancing for some www-traffic, and nothing more. But i have no answer, if you want to split ALL kind of tcp/ip-traffic over both lines. Lars.
