The RV042 load balancing works great for multiple outbound-initiated connections (lots of users browsing the web, email, etc) but - without ISP support as above, for inbound, it can't do much. It will still take inbound traffic in to account when directing new outbound connections, though.
DNS round-robin load sharing is probably the easiest way to balance incoming traffic between the two IPs.

Was thinking of having the connections with separate ISP's, both would have static IP addresses. Could you not just route all remote terminal connections through one connection?

Don't have the money for anything faster at the moment.

820004 2009-10-13 07:11:00 Yea that would be fine.

Any other suggestions on how to combine two connections would be appreciated though.

What about something for ISA? I keep coming across references to Rain Connect, but this no longer exists.
