multiple pppoe connections

As a linux newbie, how would one do the following.

Create multiple pppoe connections within ubuntu?

Will the load be auto shared accross them, or is there something else i gotta install?

This is "load balanced" same ethno

sevral different user/passes

In Ubuntu, run

sudo pppoeconf

to set up a connection. Once you have done that, save it as some custom name by doing

sudo mv /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider /etc/ppp/peers/connection1

Repeat this for as many connections as you need.

Load balancing will not automatically happen; you will have to set this up.

Not only is load balancing not done, but you still have to setup routing so that data is sent through the non-default-routing pppoe connections.

And don't forget to fix your interfaces file afterwards.
sudo <kate/kwrite> /etc/network/interfaces
... then remove the last two lines (after creating the pppoe connection).
You should also, if creating a local and intl connection, not give the local connection access to dns and default route. Otherwise the routing doesn't work.

Let me guess, windows user, never used linux before?

It really is not that much effort.
