nope...the operating system allows for one gateway to be setup (least as
far as I have seen on the w/station and server OS's I have worked on) so
the request is dealt with by the gateway its set to use.

And as I recall the term "double NAT'ing" is often used to indicate two
seperate feeds to a NAT'ing gateway that operates as one via BGP. Again
its from personal experience and I could be taught otherwise. Willing to
learn, especially if my perception is wrong.:)

(And no double NAT'ing isnt a for real technical term I think)
