Considering the OP asked for specifics on how to do this and your
response as been a bunch of theoretical gobbdleygook that is flat out
wrong network theory, you haven't done anything to help the poor bastard.
Hi,
This is a pretty firey debate.
I have a question along the lines of this thread. I currently have a 1.5Mbit
ADSL tail at the school that I work for. This tail connects to the Education
Office which hosts a variety of websites, we then get internet access
through the education office.
We currently also have 230 PCs, and the connection is slowing down
significantly. What I planned on doing was purchasing a 20Mbit ADSL 2+
connection and setting up a FreeBSD router which forwards all internet
traffic through the ADSL2+ connection, and the Education Office traffic
would be forwarded through the existing connection. Is this feasible? I
would assume that it would be a simple matter of letting the router know
what ranges need to be forwarded to the existing connection, and defaulting
the rest to the new connection.
Note there is NO load balancing in this scenario, so don't flame my head
off.
Sorry if this is not making sense, I've had a long day.
Cheers,
Matt

First off, you might have posted this under a new subject/thread to avoid
getting into the debate and to potentially get replies from those not interested
in agruing this one anymore.
That said - there's all the flame you'll get from me. You should be able to
connect both of your 'tails' (interesting term btw - never heard a
pipe/connection called a 'tail') - and yes, specify which are to go out the pipe
to your education office, set the default route to the other connection and you
should be off to the races, ie:
Con1 (education office) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Con2 (Large ADSL pipe) yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
route add 0.0.0.0 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
route add some.ip.net.work/24 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
route add some.other.ip.range/26 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
etc... Of course, depending on your configuration, you may have to use your
upstream provided default route instead of the interface IP as indicated in the
above example, (PPPoE uses your own IP as the default gateway, which is the case
in -most- DSL setups). Anyhow, should be relatively straight-forward, just add
the static routes to a script called when the connection is made, (for ppp, use
ppp.links).
