Different internet connections on different NICs

[jiska]

Ok. Here's what I want to do:

I have two internet connections, ADSL and Cable. I also have a home network runnin 6 computers. What I want to do is tell Windows 2000 Server that if it gets a request along ports 1000-9000 then use the cable connection, for all other ports use the ADSL connection. I've set it up so that both connections have different Gateways but obviously they both have different DNS servers as well. Now, my question is, can Wingate do this redirection of ports to specific NICs or not?

There have been attempts to do similar things before, but there are certain problems.

What sort of requests are you referring to with this range of ports? 1000-9000 is a bit too many to set up individual proxies to (which is the only way you can specify an interface to use).

It won't be that many ports.. Basically all I want to do is redirect requests to a certain gaming community though the cable connection. It's something like 30 different servers - ie:

202.12.147.116:27115
202.12.147.116:27125
202.12.147.116:27135
202.12.147.106:14571
202.12.147.106:14575
202.12.147.107:14587

etc. So it's not ports I need to redirect really, it's a specific ip address on a specific port. Basically my cable provider has shithouse download limits but free content on their gaming server. My ADSL provider has unlimited downloads but lousy pings for gaming so if I redirect those servers through my cable connection I can theoretically get great pings at no cost but I want everything else to go through ADSL. Does that make any sense?
