Load Balancing Upstream & PM2-ER

Further on the load balancing issue.

I have now found out that I can provide downstream clients with x dial in
ports allowing them to have multiple connections to me with the load
automagically balancing between them. Thankyou to all those who
responded.

In that scenario it was

__28.8_
Internet --- Me -< >-- Client (Linux Box)
--28.8-

And for this to work the client box had to have the kernel compiled with
EQL.

Now... how do I do the above with two PM2-ERs Instead of a PM-2ER and a
Linux box.? As there is only on W0/P1 port on each. Do I not use the W1
port on the downstream on and instead use two of the Sx ports? Do I have
to play with the routing tables to do this? Or again.. is this automagic?

Thankyou all again for your help in advance.

Regards,

Mikel
