The above is perfectly normal isn't it? It's not a 'mod' allowing multiple WANs, it's simply a (fairly complicated) routing table in 192.168.1.1 which sends packets out to different external connections.
OK, but if so then why do all the router distros assume you have a separate physical network interface for each WAN? Adding in multiple gateways without having them all on different ports should be no more complicated than having them on separate ports (the hard bit is in the load balanced routing, which applies in any case).
At the moment I'm experimenting with virtual machines with multiple virtual network adapters all bridged to the host's single ethernet adapter, but I haven't pushed this to the point of completion yet (doing that would break the rest of the network while I got things working).
