    Could this not be circumvented by using a server in the
    Internet as second Gateway. If I route all traffic (both lines) from my LAN Gateway
    through a VPN to a second Gateway NAT it there and only then go to the Internet.
    The Net should just see the second Gateways IP. Or am I talking crap ?
