Dear firends,
I are provieded with 2 internet connections at my home.Both of them are ADSL connections at 1Mbps and 2 Mbps repectively.I am going to use this server as my mail and web server.Do you know how should I setup this lines to connect to my FC4 ? what is the best solution for load balancing between two lines due to the fact that it is very important to use both of them efficiently.
Thank you,

If you have two connections you want to use with one server, get dual NIC's or simply have two NIC's with connections to both.

Hi,
Thank you for replying.
If so , what about routing and route optimizing ? what will happen to packets?
frankly,I prefer to deliver some packets received from my clients thruogh line A and send others to line B(depending on their IP range). How is this possible ?
Thank you

It would all depend on your setup, how you have things routed, etc. Unless you provide a great amount of details, we're not going to be much help since we don't have such details or any type of access or not setting up ourselves, etc.
