How do you want to do that???
If you have two connections then you have two external IP-s...
If one goes down then you can not simply use the other one...
Just think about these steps:
In normal connection:
1. a local host (A - 192.168.1.1) sends a packet from LAN to an external
host (C - 8.8.8.8)
2. the firewall applies source NAT to the packet and sends it out as if
it were coming from the firewall's first external IP (B1 - 1.1.1.1)
3. C sends back a reply to B1
4. B1 forwards it with destination NAT to A.
5. go to step 1. or close the connection
If the line goes down between step 2 and step 3 then the reply packet
will never get back to B1 and A (because the line is down) !!!
If the line goes down after step 4 then you can send it out on the
second extrenal IP (B2 - 2.2.2.2) but C will see it as a NEW connection !!!
So I think that your request is impossible on IP level.
However you can use a proxy or a mail server, etc. etc. etc.
