IP Masquerading and load balancing


Hey all,
I would like to know if it would be possible to load balance between two internet links? Right now I have a Comcast Cable and Att U-Verse internet link each with one public IP address. Is there any way I could load balance between them and still use ip masquerading?

i'm assuming that by ip masquerading, you're still planning to use both public ip addresses. so, yes, it's possible, but not super-easy if you're doing it manually with iptables, "ip rule", etc. i found that load balancing by connection avoids various problems. this means that if the first packet of a connection transits through a certain interface, then you should have all subsequent packets of that connection transit through the same interface. you'd need to do some reading. you can start by searching for lartc.
