Sounds like the setup to me.  We have a firewall/router (linux) that has
2 DSL links (2 separate modems on 2 separate lines) to the internet (2
separate real-world IP addresses).  Some traffic (port-based) goes out
#1, some goes out #2.

Sorry if I got the terms wrong, but that always meant "multihoming" to
me.  I could very well be wrong.
