If you want true bonding, you need someone on the other side of the
links to "unbundle" for you. That means either your ISP(s) or you can
also have a system on the internet and create a tunnel to that host over
the links. It was described today under the subject "Packet Level Load
Balance inbound/outbound success with nth and route".
If you are not going to get a cooperative partner on the other side of
the links, the loadbalancing described in nano is about the best you can do.
Please note that you absolutely need some of the other lines if you have
incoming traffic. Traffic might come in through one but leave by the
other interface with the wrong IP address otherwise. This is not always
bad and often works if all links go over the same ISP. I have one cable
and one dsl line from two different providers. I had a bit assymetric
routing until I corrected it.
