Multiple Internet connection on one server (link aggregation?)

Hi,

Is it possible to use more that one internet connection on one
Windows server?.

Basically, I want to create a ShoutCast streaming server using
multiple connection (via a router or two or more network card into the
server)
so I can have more users. For example, with a 900 mbit/s connection
(upload) using streaming at 40 mbit/s mean I can have 22.5 users. If
a double the number of connection 2x900 mbit/s I could have 45 users.

Is this possible?

I know some router support multiple WLAN and use some sort of load
balancing. But this is only helpful if more that one computer is
connect to the router no?

That is what you have to do. It is multiple WANs not WLANs, but yes, that
is the way to approach it.

Have the internal facing Interface of the device sit directly on the LAN
like everything else. The computers you choose to use it will use it. You
will have to understand how Layer3 routing works/behaves to deal with it
properly. There will be limitations,...you will not be able to do just
anything that you can "dream up",...there are going to be things that you
just can't do and it will all be limited by the way that Layer3 Routing
functions.

I need to correct my last post.

The main limitations are if you use each connection on a separate broadband
device. If you do it with a single device with mult-WAN ports then there
are less limitations but you will most likely *not* be able to control what
line gets used at what time in some situations.
