[Gllug] Routing / IPCop

[Ken Smith]

I have a requirement to set up some kind of resilient WAN connectivity. 
Currently a single ADSL line carries web/e-mail plus PPTP VPN traffic to 
a remote office. There is a Draytek router at the location.

The ADSL line is not that reliable and the capacity is lacking. The 
upstream bandwidth limitation of ADSL is limiting the performance of the 
VPN. I was thinking of something like an IPCop box but with two ADSL WAN 
connections. The crude solution would be to route the VPN over one ADSL 
and everything else over the other. I doubt that PPTP would work over 
two lines at once, that sounds like a recipe for a muddle. I have read 
about bundling ADSL lines for higher bandwidth but with a single IP  - 
how complex is that to set up - and would that solution continue work if 
one line died? That would be more elegant. What ISP's support line 
bundling in that way?

Thanks in advance

Ken
