And there is a program under linux that will let you do this??? If your saying what I think your saying I dont think its possible... Do you handle your route advertisements to your upstream? Iv never had a multihomed system, so im working on theory here, but even if you are doing routing via BGP or whatever your upstream supports, I dont think you can do that kind of thing... But you can easily make all your out going ftp/napster connections go out via the satellite, the way they come to you though is decided by routers not under your control... You can do the outgoing with ipfw fwd or some proxy I guess, but since it seems you want to control incoming, I really dont think you can besides deny it on the route you dont want it using... I was hoping someone with more experience with multihoming and routes would of answered you by now, but I havent seen any replies so I am just have a bash at giving you an answer based on my theoretical knowledge on the subject :) Good luck, I hope someone can give you a better answer!
