Hallo!

Thanks for the reply, i am familiar with route-to and using multiple
external links but my main problem here is how to differentiate between
hosts in subnet based on what gateway address are the configured to use.
But it seems there is principally no straithforward way to do it using
one physical/vlan interface.

I havent tried it using two physical/vlan interfaces on the same gateway
in one subnet using different ip aadresses, could it help or is it at
all reasonable in some circumstances? It seems that at least with
incoming packets it is clear from what client they came from.

picture would then be something like this

    one link    ohter link to the internet
         |       |
          \ ___ /
           |   |
           |___|
10.0.1.253  | | 10.0.1.254
            | |
            | |
 ---|-------|-|--------|-----
    |                  |
    |                  |

  host 1               host 2
  gw: 10.0.1.253       gw: 10.0.1.254
