    Isn't it possible to use ipnat on a FreeBSD box, and use the load
    distribution/reverse nat stuff in it to spread the requests out between
    the two connections? It's not perfect, but it's something.

    Basically, I think you'd set up a FreeBSD box as 'the router', so
    clients would point to it's interface for their gateway (or however you
    want to set it up), then the FreeBSD box would distribute requests
    between the two 'real' router IP's. I'm not certain this will work, but
    just a thought..
