[gentoo-server] network load balancing

[Kurt Lieber]

Hey all --

I'm trying to help a fellow gentoo developer solve a problem he's having.
He is unable to get decent broadband speed where he lives and, for various
reasons, needs to get faster upstream transfer speeds than he can
currently.  One thought was to get multiple slower lines and combine them.

Any network load balancing solutions out there that might help?  I've
already checked:

http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html

But this won't help as it chooses a single route for each transfer.  He
needs to find a way to spread traffic across two (or more) links, even for
a single file transfer (like an ISO).  So, when transferring a single 1GB
file, he needs a solution that will send packets across each available
link.

Any ideas/links/suggestions?
