Internet Load Balancing


I have configured a router in linux. Now my office wants to get internet connection from anothe ISP. Now what I have to do is load balance the both ISP connection to use in a single inside LAN.

So what should I need and how it can be configured with perfect load balancing ?

If you want to do it manually, you should review LARTC... particularly 4.2. Routing for multiple uplinks/providers. If you want something quick that will work, there are "appliance" distros that achieve this in various forms depending on what you have, what you want, and/or what you need.

"perfect load balancing"... good luck.
