If your ISPs follow best practices and filter the traffic you send (to prevent attempts to spoof packets), you won't be able to do this. If they don't, then maybe they will start doing this sometime and cause you problems in the future. But you can have a separate hostname pointing at the address of the second line, or just use the ip address in the URL, and punt off certain traffic to the other line that way. For this you'll want to use "reply-to" PF rules so that requests arriving on one line have the replies sent out the same line rather than to wherever the default route points. It's something like the "load balance outgoing traffic" example in the PF FAQ in reverse.
