1. Load up squid proxy for caching!! That will do a lot for reducing the
load on the feeble WAN connection.

2. I just loaded a dual-homed server using the following script to
provide dual access to 2 WAN connections and load balancing between the
two connections. Note: eth1 and 2 are WAN and eth0 in LAN. This machine
acts as a router (and also has web sites hosted on both WAN IPs. The
only "gotcha" is the LAN can't "see" the web sites on the router
machine. I'm working on that...

#!/bin/sh
IF0='eth0'
IF1='eth1'
IF2='eth2'
IP0='ip address here for eth0'
IP1='ip address here for eth1'
IP2='ip address here for eth2'
P0='eth0 gateway IP'
P1='eth1 gateway IP'
P2='eth2 gateway IP'
P0_NET='eth0 net'
P1_NET='eth1 net'
P2_NET='eth2 net'

ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 src $IP0 table T0
ip route add default via $P0 table T0

ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1 table T1
ip route add default via $P1 table T1

ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 src $IP2 table T2
ip route add default via $P2 table T2

ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1
ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 src $IP2
ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 src $IP0

#ip route add default via $P1

ip rule add from $IP1 table T1
ip rule add from $IP2 table T2
ip rule add from $IP0 table T0

ip route add $P1     dev $IF1 table T0
ip route add $P2     dev $IF2 table T0
ip route add $P0     dev $IF0 table T0
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo   table T0

ip route add $P0_NET     dev $IF0 table T1
ip route add $P2_NET     dev $IF2 table T1
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo   table T1

ip route add $P0_NET     dev $IF0 table T2
ip route add $P1_NET     dev $IF1 table T2
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo   table T2

ip route add default scope global nexthop via $P1 dev $IF1 weight 1 \
nexthop via $P2 dev $IF2 weight 1

Last line is wrapped at the "\". It does the load balancing. Change the
weights if one line is faster than the other. For me, the system is a
server and both DSL lines have 768k upload so equal weights. For
downloads one is 6Mb the other is 3Mb so I would reweigh to use 2:1.
