I have setup 2 EOIP tunnels using 2 different DSL connections, even though both tunnels are working fine it appears they are only using one of the DSL connections because each DSL connection is from the same ISP and have the same gateway address. Is there a way to force each tunnel down different connections?
Thanks.

I fear that’s not possible. As RouterOS always want the route (and that includes the default route) to be configured by entering the next hops’ ip address, this won’t work (as the gateway is the same on both uplinks).
This WOULD work, if you could configure an interface based default route like Linux can do with something like “route add default dev ippp0”, i.e. tell the router to send the packets out over a specific INTERFACE, rather than to a specific next hop.
This would be really helpful (and is of course only sensible for point-to-point links). But my feature request for that was answered with “we won’t make this anytime soon” some weeks ago…

Bugger. I will have to see if I can get a different gateway for each connection.
We ended up terminating each connection with a dedicated router and the work with routing to those (using a transfer ip net) in a similar situation.
Not very elegant…
