Current situation is that I have 2x ADSL connections on seperate lines coming into my house. One is my personal one and the other is provided by work but I can use it for private use as well.
What I'd like to be able to do is use each ADSL connection based on the port numbver of the application being used. For example web and gaming traffic using ADSL1 and torrents and internet radio streams using ADSL2
Its easy to do on a layer 4 switch which I can get hold of from work but these aren't cheap and are generally noisy as they're designed to be used in datacentres....not a quiet office.....and the ones I can "borrow" from work are just too big anyway.
So is there any way to do this on a PC with two ethernet ports ? Closest I can do at the moment would be to have static route entries on the PC which would route traffic to either of the gateway addresses depending on the destination IP address. But this won't be able to route based on the application being used.
Anybody else done anything like this on a Windows based PC before ?
Failing that has anyone got any recommendations for a cheap, small & quiet SOHO switch that can do the same job ?
