==Simple Download Bonding, using a router/firewall==
If you have an existing router/firewall, then you could use this to firewall your network, and provide NAT (if that's what you want to do). The points are similar to the above example, with a difference on the LAN side of the ADSL routers.
The points are similar to the above example, with a difference on the LAN side of the ADSL routers.
 
*You have 2 or more ADSL lines with AAISP (either BT, or BE, or a mix)
**The LAN block will be configured as static routes in the ADSL routers to route the traffic to your firewall.
*You have 2 standard ADSL routers (e.g. supplied by AAISP)
**The ZyXELSZyXELs can be configured to use the other router as a fallback gateway (giving some level of fallback if the ADSL goes down, this isn't configured automatically by AAISP router programming)
*You plug the ADSL routers and firewall (WAN port) in to the same network switch
*Your firewallsfirewall’s LAN port is connected to your main LAN switch.
*Your firewall uses one of the routers as it'sits gateway
*Your firewall can be the DHCP server, can run NAT etc. for your LAN
 
WithIn this case, assuming your firewall is not able to do upload bonding, orand does not have the ability to change which router it uses in the case of an ADSL line being down, in the event ofthat the ADSL line that is being used for upload fails, fallback would need to be controlled manually (i.e. configureby configuring the firewall to use the other ADSL router as it'sits gateway)
