I need help with the following, please 
Hardware:
2 x Servers
24 x Pc's
2 x 4MB ADSL lines
2 x DLink 300T modems
1 x SMC Dual WAN Load Balancing Router
What I am currently doing is using the SMC with the 2x DLink 300T's. The SMC load balances my traffic so that when the guys are gaming and some one is using Face Book then my pings doesn't spike. I use 2x adsl lines because of the amount of pc's I have in my shop. I have been using it like this for the past 2 years and it has work 100%.
What I would like to do is use Route Sentry with a Proxy so that I can save on my bandwidth costs as I am currently using about 60Gb's of traffic a month, of which most of it is local traffic.
I need Route Sentry to be able to handle multiple lines, the proxy to handle the connections for the pc's on the network and to act as a gateway. I then also need to be able to do the load balancing so that I dont have the ping spike problem with users using Face Book. The other problem that I have is that I need gateway/Route Sentry/Proxy to be able to send the right data back to the correct pc on the same adsl line, otherwise secure sites don't work like, online banking.
I have setup everything browsing is working, I am not 100% sure if the traffic is using both adsl lines, because if everything is pushed down one line then my pings are going to be crap.
If anyone knows of another solution, or maybe a way that I can get my SMC to do the routing tables it would be much appreciated.
I am microsoft user and what I know about linux is dangerous. I know enogh of linux to make the situation look better
Any help with this regard would be much appreciated, I am in the Cape Town area.
