you will have problems with sites that keep track of IP addressess for session validation.  Some sites will end the session if they receive a request from a different IP than the one that initiated the browsing.  This occurs mainly in banks and other ssl connections.  Here, I use a iptables mangle rule to mark tcp/443 packets and a ip rule to direct marked packets to one fixed link.
