[u-u] Someone used to have a redundant ISP service... Who?

[David Gilbert]

Was probably me.

We called it failsafe.  It transmitted every packet down every (custom) 
tunnel.  You don't even hear a blip when one fails.  BUT you do get 100% 
of bandwidth on both accounts.

It's also possible with tunnels and OSPF.  Talk to me if you need it.
