Load balancing between 2 internet connections for improved throughput

[Kremlar]

We've experimented with load balancing on a Linksys RV042 router using 2 internet connections in the past. In general, things worked fairly well, but we had issues with some secure sites.

We determined that the problem was that the router was switching WAN ports for that same session, and the site dropped our session because our source IP changed.

Looking into this a bit further, it seems that some higher-end routers support "load balancing per destination" which seems would alleviate this issue. I'm guessing that the Linksys RV042 uses "load balancing per packet".

I don't see any documentation on Linksys.com regarding this issue, nor do I see any option on the router to for "per destination".

Is this a common issue?

Are there any fairly low-cost routers that support 2 WAN connections, support load balancing, and not have this issue?

Our main use for this would be remote desktop connections to a Terminal Server at the main office. We currently have (2) 1.5Mbps/384Kbps DSL connections at our main site. We'd like 1 remote site to remote desktop through 1 of the DSL lines, and we would like a 2nd remote site to remote desktop in through the other DSL line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

no one?

I can tell my RV016 to use a certian connection for a certain destination or source... among other things. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.

I read a reviewer that stated his RV082 wouldn't work correctly with 2 DSLs from the same ISP (same subnet).

What is your configuration?
