Thanks for the feedback :)

What I'm hoping to do is find a way to route all paquets coming:
- from DMZ to internet, using NET connexion1
- from LAN to internet, using NET connection2

To be more understandable, something like this:
route add from DMZ defaut em0
route add from LAN defaut em1
--> I know it is not a real command line, it's just to make things clearer.

And if it doesn't ?

Anyway thanks a lot for answering.
