Of course, it is possible ... and depends on how restrictive
are your providers. But if one link fails you can have the problem
of using sources for the failed link, then the replies from world
will hit the failed provider and will not reach you. As result,
your internal servers should know which source addresses to use
according to the link state. The masquerade simply guarantees that
one link is used only from addresses that are reachable from this
link.

As for applying the patches you need to download them
correctly. More likely you have white space problem (try with
patch -l).
