This has the added advantage of letting you fetch any http or ftp url through the ISDN line, not only port 80. You could also bind your squid's outgoing ports to tun1, so that outgoing traffic will take the default route (through the leased line), but incoming will go to tun1's address, and thus will go through the ISDN line. Because you'll probably will receive more than you send, and http requests are usually quite small, this should work quite nicely. (As long as you are not afraid of asymmetric routes :-) At least, this doesn't require any hacks.
