Totally true and problem get worse when you already have the equipament and have to implement a solution over it.
We are also using a script at this moment but it doesn't do load balance. What it only do is to check if the current provide
are okay, and if not, it change the default route to the other. But it think this is not the best solution at all.


What I basicly need is to have some kind of route protocol at our side that checks for the small path and choose it.

Does it is much harder to implement ?

Why dont you all do yourselves a favor and go out and buy one of those
home dsl/cable modems that have 2 ports and provide load balancing

[Mitch says:] The only ones I've seen were rather expensive and aren't modem's - they are
routers... so you have to still have your ADSL modem, your cable modem, your
load balancing router, which generally does a poor job, and has all kinds of
limitations...


Why spend $500 bucks on a load shared with an inadequate non-open source
firewall that doesn't do what I want and then have to add a firewall anyways
;-)

And worse, it works in NAT mode, and probably screws up ipsec, and traffic
shaping too...

Is that enough reasons to try building a better mousetrap?
