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)

With this case, assuming your firewall is not able to do upload bonding, or have the ability to change which router it uses in the case of an ADSL line being down, in the event of the ADSL line that is being used for upload fails, fallback would need to be controlled manually (i.e. configure the firewall to use the other ADSL router as it's gateway)
