I have no idea ;-)

No sorry the other way around. IP1 is one of our lines, and by web server I 
mean any webserver on the internet.

> And are you using NAT?

Yes. I was hoping to implement a round-robin NAT as described by another 
reply to my original post. Providing it all works as I would like it to.

Better overall performance for end users. There is a network of 30 
workstations, all in active use about 16hrs of each day.

multilink ppp? hmm that is definately something I may have to look into.
Infact from memory of waht I know about it, it could possibly be exactly 
what I am looking for.
Do you have much experience with multilink ppp that you could pass on before 
I jump in blindfolded and bring my whole network down? ;-)
