You are correct, but I'm not sure you'll see the gains you hope for. See if you can get the 2nd dsl on a trial.Mike

I want to increase Internet access bandwidth on a network I manage.  The only unmetered broadband available in the area is DSL so my only option appears to be a second DSL modem. Ideally the two modems would  equally share the load but I understand to do that properly requires a bonding modem and possibly support by the ISP.

It seems a simpler approach might be to split the traffic between the terminal services server and the machines connected to the server.  This would mean that when a user accesses the Internet while in an RDP session the traffic would go through the server modem.  If the user accesses the Internet from a browser running on the local machine, the traffic would be on the non server modem.

My question relates to how one configures such a setup.  Is it as simple as setting up the second modem with its own static IP address and using that address as the gateway address for the server and leaving everything else the same?  Anything else?

Thanks in advance for any input!

Joe
