Sounds like the setup to me. We have a firewall/router (linux) that has 2 DSL links (2 separate modems on 2 separate lines) to the internet (2 separate real-world IP addresses). Some traffic (port-based) goes out #1, some goes out #2.
Sorry if I got the terms wrong, but that always meant "multihoming" to me. I could very well be wrong.
