Internet Load Balencing Server


Hey

I have 4 3mbit net connections and what i want to do is have them all running to one computer to do a little load balaning and make one faster connection.

The connections use PPPoE, there are no modems, just ethernet lines from outside going through a media switch, not over telephone lines
All are same ISP
I dont want to run it up as a router sharing net connection, its just going to be its own lil comp
I have 4 NICs if needed
Running Fedora Core 3 - no preference, can switch to another distro

Most anything is up for change/suggestion


I have tested all the connections on separate comps, all get full speed, i just want to combine into one machine. For torrent and irc use. Like on irc instead of 1 100k/s sends from 4 different machines id like to have 4 100k/s from the same machine


I'm probably missing alot of information, but all i really have is a fresh 'desktop' install of FC3

sorry, im a linux newb although i have a few friends at my disposal

FYI:
T1 is $$$ and is much slower
Yes i have the fastest connection offered by my isp
and No, i dont pay for all these
(sorry, just a flaming trend ive seen on forums on this topic)
