Slirp, the SLIP/PPP emulator, has load balancing capabilities (and it is
even said to work!). A Slirp connection isn't a "real" SLIP/PPP
connection, but for most people, it is close enough. You lose some ICMP
facilities, but there is a work-a-round for ping.
Since Slirp is basically 4.4BSD code, there is no problem compiling it on
NetBSD.
