Unique Load Balancing Setup

[Smokeshow]

Alright, I’m trying to figure out the best was to setup load balancing in the following scenario:

I have 2 broadband connections. both of them are the same speed (6.0Mbps Down & 1.0Mbps Up) from the same provider. I have 2 IP’s to use which are both on the same subnet. Lets say they are 72.40.80.233 72.40.80.234. Both have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 72.40.80.1.

First of all, how do I assign 2 separate interfaces 2 IP addresses on the same subnet? When I attempt to setup the second interface I get an error message that I am overlapping an existing interface.

And then, how should I configure the Load Balancer?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
