[NTLUG:Discuss] load balancing

I'm not sure if this is load balancing or not....

say that I have a linux box with 3 different ISDN connections ( each to a
different
ISP ) So... I have eth0, eth1, and eth2 all doing 128K ISDN to the internet.

What can I use do that OUTGOING connections will utilize all three of these
links. It doesn't have to be a 33/33/33 split.... just not 100/0/0.

I had read ( but never saw it actually work ) that if you had 3, equal
metric
default routes, it would use all three links but I didn't see that really
work.

Does anyone have any real-world experience with this.

Also.... the users behind this will be using NAT. Is that going to cause a
problem with this?

Thanks - jack
