multiple WAN connections bound into one using load balancing?

[ian.gardocki]

I am setting up a network in my dormatory for myself and about 20 friends. about half of us have DSL connections at the moment. Is there a way to have all the DSL connections (possibly run through cheap home DSL routers) all connect into a cisco router that then acts as the gateway for our entire network? woudl it be possible for each internet request to go out over the connection that has the least load AND also be able to use some sort of load balancing, so one user cant use all of the outgoing/incoming bandwidth?

If you have any ideas please let me know

I think load balncing can be achived only after the default gateways.so i think its not possible to load balance before the gateway.

hi

see optimized edge routing (OER) on cisco site. that may be your solution.

however you are talking of low cost solution. so linux with iptables is also an option.
