Since you are basically using 2 ISP's, that won't work. If you can find a load balancing router someplace, it can send different connections out different ports and keep track of what goes where. But the cost won't be cheap, and I don't know of any consumer level routers that do this. You might be able to get it working with Vyatta and a dedicated computer with multiple ethernet ports. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
