Hi All,

Can I set one application to use my ethernet broadband connection (which is the ISP my mail goes through), and other apps to use my flatmate's airport connection (before you jump to any conclusions, I have permission: I'd like to use a bunch of different web browsers to connect to my web server from _outside_ of my own LAN to check server and site speeds).

I've been able to force my Mac to connect to my server via Airport by turning off ethernet, but it's a pain and sometimes I forget to turn ethernet back on and mail doesn't get sent for hours ('cause, rightly so, my ISP won't relay mail not coming through its own connection).

What about striping internet data through both connections, sortof a TCP/IP RAID? (this is mostly of academic interest, to be honest, I've never heard of this and just got to thinking: sort of like dual-channel ISDN).

Thanks in advance for any help,

Chas
