Multiple IP Addresses


I have a Linux server that I would like to connect to the Internet with two different IP addresses on the same Ethernet interface.

There are two parts:

1. Getting the outside world to talk to the server vthrough either IP address.. I was able to do this by simply adding the second address like this: `ip addr add dev eth0 2.2.2.2/24`.

2. Getting the server to talk to the outside world through both IP addresses by implementing something like a "round robin," perhaps.. (The different addresses belong to different ISPs, so being able to distribute outgoing traffic over both will get the server more bandwidth.) I am having trouble with this part.

Any help is appreciated.
