You have a 2 options... (1) Buy a product that already can do this and connect M0n0Wall to it...search for "Load Balancer" in google.com If you're in Australia, there's two products from a company called Snapgear. Their 2 embedded-Linux based routers include this ability to connect to 2 ISPs at the same time. (Its compatible with Telstra or Optus Cable and the various ADSL ISPs). Their routers are ICSA ceritified firewalls and have a rather generous set of VPN features. (Compared to other expensive routers). In all essence, this product will make M0n0Wall a little redundant...Maybe just buy a "load balancing/failover" router, and just tack M0n0wall to it. (Just make sure this type of router works with your ISPs before you buy! Check in various forums as some people report that some of these routers will have issues with one ISP but not the other.) (2) Go here : http://forums.techwatch.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=3626 This is a forum I moderate for. (Its Australian based). This is a post I put of where you can get all of the easily found "Load Balancing" concepts around the web. They mainly apply to Linux, but there's a few links to FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Read up on all these and see what you come up with. Feel free to share this link around as it is my contribution to the community (Linux/BSD) who are seeking to implement this feature. I was thinking of building an OpenBSD-based version of M0n0Wall using OpenBSD's PF. That already has load balancing features built-in. But sadly, I don't have the time as I'm in University working hard on my engineering degree. Maybe some day. I really wouldn't mind seeing a "Load Balancing and Failover" feature in M0n0Wall, but its VERY time consuming to implement and debug. (Don't expect it to double your speed, but it could take advantage of the bandwidth by distributing it evenly). Anyway, if you do decide on implementing this feature, good luck. I hope the links I've gathered in that forum help.
