[c-nsp] Bonded DSL solution

Hello all,
We're looking into offering "bonded" DSL lines to customer who want more
speed, but for whom something like a DS-3 is out of the question. I'm
currently trying to figure out if Cisco has a solution for something like
this.
One thing I've considered, which isn't really true "bonding" is to have
the customer have X DSL modems plugged into X ethernet ports on a router.
I'll assign a different /30 address to each of their X ethernet ports,
assign them a larger internal netblock, and then just create X static
routes to that netblock. AFAIK, the traffic would round-robin between the
different X circuits. And the customer would create X 0.0.0.0/0 routes
pointing back to me. Sounds do-able. I think... right?
The above seems a little low-tech though... Are there better ways to do
it? Multi-link PPP? Some kind Cisco proprietary bonding protocol? The
DSL lines all terminate in a Verizon ATM DS-3 plugged into a 7206VXR
NPE-G1.
Thanks!
