routable dual WAN devices?

[Noam Birnbaum]

Ah.  Good point.

So here's a revised scenario:

One server, two WAN lines -- the 2nd WAN line's IP will be used for  
incoming connections to Rumpus.

Ideally, it would be nice to use this 2nd WAN line for failover, too.

Does that open up routing possibilities?

Thanks!
