A further note on this: it's called asymmetric routing, and usually it isn't recommended or supported by most ISPs. There are some circumstances when it is useful (or even required), mainly in deployments like one-way satellite where a modem is used as an uplink and the downstream is a much faster link. I've used Shorewall successfully in such configurations - if you need details please inquire on the mailing list and i'll try to answer as best i can. Regards, Paul
