I think that would be OK, as long as I can utilize both links; say, web
traffic via the wireless link, and the other via the modem.
I have take a look into iproute doc, and to have two default routes is
as simple as:
ip route add default nexthop eth0 nexthop ppp0
Question is, really?
I read somewhere on the Net that by having that configuration, you'd get
outgoing traffic via both devices, but incoming via the first one.
Would it be easier just to split the traffic according to the protocols?
Say, email through eth0 and web through the ppp0. Maybe the use of the
links wouldn't be that optimal, but at least I can get some additional
bandwidth. But what about that "default route"; how can I set it up after
I split the traffic?
