I don't think it is possible without BGP. If you send a packet to some server and start TCP connection that server will send back his packets same way the requesting packets came.
On the other hand. Let's say that i am staring connection with your server and am coming to your gateway 2 (your downstream gateway). You are using gateway 1 to answear to me, different IP. My server tries to find existing connection from your IP and he can't find it. Packet will be droped, connection will not be established.

Dear Smith,
I believe there's way can be done, as some isp' do use DVB which is one way only (downstream) while upstream via FO or other method.

How can we do it with MT?

my current setup is:

SAT
|
MT-------- Clients
|
FO

It is impossible.

As the fellow said above, the TCP packet need back way from out way.

I do this but you need BGP (or your ISP's help)

Filteres need to be open for both ISP's for your IP Range

ISP 1 Filter open set at your default gateway (send)
ISP 2 Filter open and advertise your IP's (receive)

With this setup I have turned 4m/4m shdsl and a 8Meg/300k ADSL into a single 8meg/4Meg connection :-)

What if the ISP is not friendly with BGP ? :-(

Your SAT provider should be able to help.

Create a tunnel (via FO) to SAT provider, this will be for upstream, OR get an IP from SAT provider and use it as your source (out interface) IP (so the only route back will be via SAT DVB).

Downstream via DVB IP (set by SAT provider)

if the FO would allow your customer subnet through their source-filters (or if they are too ignorant to have any), you should be able to do this without any active routing protocols. Then you would just need to do default route one way and let the returning traffic come the other way.
If you NAT your customers then this could prove more tricky but not impossible. The key is the FO's source filters.

yes, set your default gateway to the FO port. Make sure all outbound connections, DNS entries, etc, specify your SAT connections IP address. Basically advertise the IP you want them to come in on, and send them out whichever way you want with the default gateway. You will probably end up using src-nat to stick the SAT ip on the outbound traffic if required. Just hope your sat provider doesn't do BCP38; which they should be really - if your not on your network then your helping spoof ips in ddos attacks

Let's hope they have, and if they have, then simply ask them to add your subnet(s) to their ingress filters.
Always filter the source address of your customers (it will help you sleep at night).

It is POSSIBLE to do it without you having interfere with the BGP option since the BGP is in ISP side.
Once you get ip addresses from your ISP, of course packets from everywhere around the world would come to your side from your ISP.

But for the packets leaving your side, can be choose which gateway to forward it through. Either with the gateway IP of the ISP or the other gateway of other ISP.
As long as the other upstream ISP open their upstream filter and let your IP address from your ISP , pass through.
