I would suggest you put the Proxy box behind a "load balancing" router
[1] and let the router handle the traffic to the 2 ISPs, if all you
are doing is outbound traffic from LAN to WAN ('Net).
[1] Google search "linux load balance router" This particular looks
promising YMMV depending on your network setup and objectives.
