Routing internet traffic to two different connections.

[link to this post]

Can I get a router which would enable me to send some of my internet traffic to a satellite modem, and the rest to a DSL modem?

I would like to choose the route based on the IP of the device on my local network making the request and the destination port.

Nothing to stop you having two gateways on a LAN, and using manual configurations so that Internet data from one machines goes via one route, and from another machine goes another route.

If you need the machines to be able to see each other on the LAN then just need to use multiple IP addresses on the machine involved.

It does not need to be that complex. The multiple gateways can be on on one IP subnet.

Line One:- Zen - DrayTek Vigor 2600VG
Line Two:- EntaNet (Aquiss) - DrayTek Vigor 2600
