[asterisk-users] Load balenced (ADSL) network connections, is it possible?

[Alex Robar]

Have you checked out pfSense? It's based on the BSD firewall "m0n0wall",
supports multiple WAN links and load balancing between them. Seems like it
might do the trick for you. Philip Mullis will be giving a talk regarding
how to get it all setup at the next Toronto Asterisk User's Group meeting,
if you're local to Toronto too.
