here's the setup (two dsl - same provider)

                                +-----> link1
LAN----- linux box  --|             |----------internet
                                +-----> link2

the setup is ok in terms of the failover requirement. the other link
takes over when one is down. however, there is a very noticeable lag
when both lines are up. i've tried changing the weight value to a
higher one but the links are still under utilized and some client machines
playing games or mostly disconnected. taking down one link makes the
connection ok.
any suggestions? do i need to patch the kernel?

below is the script i'm  using on a mandrake 10.1 box.

thanks.
