I have to DSL connections with the same providrer, but different public IP's, they are connected to my box to one interface each, and i am doing load balancing right now, i would like to know if it is possible to do an ethernet bonding, keeping the load balancing, and treat both ethernets as one. I have already set up the bond, but i do not get right the routing tables. Anyone?

I think you also need support from your ISP if you want to do this.

To the best of my knowledge what you are attempting to do will not work
without cooperation from the ISP. Usually bonding requires it to be done
on both ends not just one.

I am only aware of 1 ISP ever to do this in the U.S. It was Copper
Mountain Networks, who is no longer in existence.

If anyone knows of another ISP offering bonded DSL lines please let me
know.

So in your case I do not think it will get much better than things are
if you are already doing load balancing/redundancy.

If you're going to use bonding, you need the proper switch support from
the other side. For more info, read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
There's enough info in there, I think. ;)
