Dual Gateway (again) with a twist

At least I think it's a twist...

Hypothetical situation (it's real but we'll pretend it isn't so I don't look stupid for trying it)

I have two ADSL links. Both to the same provider. When both connections are made, I have the following:

ADSL link 1
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
GW: 10.0.0.1

ADSL link 2
IP: yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
GW: 10.0.0.1

Is there any way I can load share between them?

If the two GW IPs were different then it's easy, but if they're the same...My poor brain can't sort it out...

Are the ADSL lines into the same location? If your ISP supports multilink PPP over ADSL you could bond them, I believe RouterOS 9 will support this but there are other solutions (Cisco, Linux) already available.

Hello RaynMan,

I had same problem and have to use 3 computers. 2 computers are connected to ISP, and the third use those 2 computers as GW. So that is how to get 2 diferent gateways...

That is pretty much my conclusion as well.

Oh well...

Would have been nice :)
