I have two linux boxen - one is the network firewall, and the other has
the mail and web servers. The firewall has two outside connections: one
is a 56k connection with permanent ip address, and the other is a cable
connection with floating address (semi-permanent). There are other boxen
connected to the firewall. I want all server traffic to and from the
server box to go over the 56k link, and all other traffic to go out the
faster cable connection. How would I set up iptables/routing to
accomplish this?

Thanks for any pointers!

Consult the Linux Advanced Routing Howto at http://lartc.org/howto/. See
especially Chapter 10 on load balancing.
