If this is the case, you need cooperation on the upstream side to provide
load-balancing/outage handling for packets headed to your public IP
addresses in the LAN. Since these are rather different technologies, I
there is a high probablity that you have different companies at the other
end... and that would seem to make this a low-probability-of-realization
solution, because they would have to setup a physical or virtual
connection between the two companies and cooperate in its management.
Possible, but, ah, seems unlikely?
With NAT, you implement your choice of route based on criteria of your
choosing, and nat'ing to the right ip determines both the send and receive
route without cooperation betweem the competitors at the other end.
