Is it possible to bond multiple ADSL lines to provide greater bandwith? Using Astaro with multiple LAN cards connected to multiple ASDL routers. Professional Version - Release 5.019
We just tried to connect our Astaro to two different DSL-lines. The problem is, that it only accepts one DSL-interface in the network configuration. A possible solution would be to use two seperate DSL-routers and connect the Astaro to these two routers or to connect one line directly to the DSL and the second line to an extra DSL-router. Is it then still possible to use features such as QoS or LoadBalancing? I think so, but I am not sure about that.
I just realized the problem with the default gateway. Since I don't have the skill to modify the Astaro, I have to use an external device or two Astaros. Do you know a german vendor of a router with two WAN interfaces?

[/ QUOTE ] there are some routers which support loadbalancing by using more than one static route with different next hops. This is often used on the ISP site for loadbalancing between 2 oder more dsl wan links to the same customer.

for ex. bintec.de (vpn access 25) has 2 wan ports and supports different kinds of loadbalancing.
very interesting! Have you any experience on this router? How does ist works if you have a internal webserver, vpn or any other public service? Will the IP also change? Is there a automatc failover for the dns, ......
If you have any mor informations, it would be great, if you can post it in the board!
We were looking at purchasing a 4 WAN port model so we could switch from expensive fibre to 2-4 ADSL lines instead to save money. The concerns you highlighted and a drop in price by our fibre provider stopped me buying one.
I'm *guessing* it would mostly be useful for people not serving anything. I think there is a data sheet on the page I posted above. I'd love to test one...
It may well work. Advertising routes would be the tricky bit. At the very least you could probably put all your web sites on one and then use the other lines for office traffic etc..
