    Would it be possible to build a linux box with 5 ethernet adapters.
    Connect 4 of them to ADSL routers and the other one to a lan.

    Then setup iptables and ip masquerading or some daemon to allow packets
    to be routed from the lan to the internet on a per session basis?
    Combining the 4 wan connections in the same way as the load balancing
    router boxes work.

    Regards Graham
