Hi !

I have a question not FreeBSD specific, but since I'm going to use FreeBSD to 
achieve what I need, I wanted your advice.
I just arrived in a new company and their network has 2 xDSL connexions to the 
Net.
I was wondering what would be the best setup using FreeBSD as a gateway:
- - should I make FreeBSD use the 2 connections as the same time (to have twice 
the bandwidth), with bandwidth management for important services we host
- - or should I install 2 FreeBSD gateways, one for each connection (lan <--> 
net; public_ip_pool <--> net) and make them communicate within a local LAN 
(separate from the main one). I need the main lan to be able to communicate 
with the public_ip_pool.
- - or something else ... ?

If I had only one connection, I would build a LAN+DMZ+gateway, but I never 
really worked with 2 connections.
If you have any advice concerning this, working under FreeBSD of course, 
please let me know.

Best regards.
