hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you 'route' over the dsl, won't the
packets return
via the original IP address in the source, i.e. the 64k line????, becareful.
running
a multihomed site is not as easy as it sounds, unless your running bgb-4
:-).

That could work -- but make sure you realize what you'd have to do. You'll
need to add a route statement which directs traffic for the fixed IP to
the dynamic IP. You'd have to change that route every time your DHCP
address changed. And you'd have to break any existing connections
every time you changed the route.

I assume this is DSL? Most if not all DSL providers offer a fixed IP
option for slightly more money per month -- I would look into that if I
were you.
