My College has a T-1 connection that has been having some major 
problems, being down for 7 hours and 20 minuts the other day. I have had a 
bridge to a DSL line that provided a backup for Internet access thru a 
Fedora machine with a squid server. Just got a Cable line with a 4.2Mb 
connection that is now also connected to this machine, but now it uses the 
Cable as the devault path. Ideally, I would like to setup a system in what all 
the various internet bandwidth could be used. 

The best option that I can currently think of is setting up a squid server with 
each of the access points (T-1, DSL, and Cable) and have them in a round 
robin configuration, but that requres 3 machines. The one system does have 
access to all the networks, but currently only the default route is used by a 
machine. Perhaps there are others that might have a similar situation with 
two of more access routes.

Thanks.
