Your best is not enought for me.
There are three difficulties:
1. using a single router would set a single point of failure, that is one
thing I want to avoid;
2. the two groups of computer are separated and connected
via a bridge, using an old 10base2 cable that has a bandwidth even less
than the bandwidth of each of the links. Improving that one would cost me
more than what i plan to spend. keeping it would not work if two computer
from the satellite subnet are in use and the router is the other way ....
3. using a line for each group of service would not fit for me: here i
could have one computer tht is connected to another, possibly using the
same service, needing all that it can get. of course if i separate the two
links by service it would not work for this that is the most frequent case
i need bandwidth.
... stil waiting for help !
(the most noticeable problem is, aftersome personal replies:
i could set the power user'
computer using two ip one having as a router router A and the other
router B. For service such sftp where there is the option to bind to a
particular addres is easy, but for program such ftp, or just apt-get how
to tell for each connection what link to use [someone suggested to set up
one connection, then chage the ruls on the nat device to use the other
.... but i am not comfortable on it !])
