I haven't ever used dispatch-proxy but I've used shorewall[1] on my
router to load-balance among multiple ISPs[2]. The router-side solution
is nice because then any clients behind that router automatically get
the benefit of load balancing. Also, since it's tranparent to the
client, clients don't need to use any special proxy settings.
The downside is that, by default, shorewall load balances based on route
so the threaded downloader-type client won't necessarily see a boost.
Not that i like opening cans of worms, but tcp multipath is supposed to
address that use case ?
And it's a CONFIG_MPTCP flag away, apparently.
