I don't see why you would want to do this, other than eliminating a single point of failure for your internet connection, or possibly splitting up the traffic on the two uplinks for better connectivity. If that's the case and the budget allows, I would look into load balancing your 2 uplinks with a router/s. I agree that using port boundaries (even though possible, at least I'd know how to do it on *nix with ipf/ipnat) is NOT the way to go about it. It's very possible that a high-end cisco router would either load balance, or round-robin between your two uplinks.

I am looking at adding another source to the internet to my small home network. The OS is Win2k Server (latest patches, etc) Both sources will have separate NICs & ip addresses. I would like to direct all traffic below port 1024 to one source and all other traffic to the other source. Also, I would like to direct specific ports and/or specific destination ip addresses to one of the specific internet sources coming into the computer. I would like to hear what options I have available to do this and if anyone has done this, any problems, recommendations, or things I should know before doing this. thanks Jim
