11 Hm. If I understand you correctly, then no. You can't.

13 But you can -for example- use one link or the other based on source ip address.

15 At work, we have one ISP for everyone, and one ISP for "emergency"
16 (iso downloads, etc) So, if source IP is 192.168.10.11 (mine) I route
17 the traffic via the "emergency" link and voila: I have 5Mbps for
18 myself :)
19
20 Or you can route based on destination IP, or let the router decide
21 which link to use.
