Multi-NIC and Multi-ISP configuration (aggregation)

[Victor Padro]

Hello there,

some months ago I was trying to acomplish that task that you have, but I
decided to quit and to look foward to Pfsense for 6 months now, which I
don't have a complain, I'm using Dual WAN setup with a load-balancer, and
believe me it worths trying...check it out: www.pfsense.org

see ya.
