To be honest, and sorry if this offends, I would guess a number of
contributors here haven't said anything because your original messages
verge on the undecipherable. 

If you have two separate ADSL links that you want to put traffic over,
you can load-balance by hot switching - but that will break any existing
connection and does not allow you to use both at once. You can't
actively balance traffic across both simultaneously because you would
then have two source IPs, and packets from one IP would not be
associated with a connection established on the other.

Does that help, or are you trying to do something else?

Cheers,

Alex.
