Q:
Cheap, Good and Easy way to rout and load balance a second Internet uplink
We would like to add a second Internet line into our school. I'm looking for an easy solution, because I have very limited knowledge of networking. It needs to be inexpensive, because we are on a show string budget (like everyone else right now except the banks). And it needs to do a good job of load balancing.
We currently run a School Guardian (a Smoothwall product) as our Firewall/Gateway. We have about 100 computers on our network.

Your thoughts?

Software/Hardware used:
School Guardian running on a SuperServer 5014C
