You'll be a much happier person if you do NOT do this.  To do this properly,
your firewall will have to participate in dynamic routing, in reality,
BGP.  You don't want that, not at all.

You're bringing in a second carrier?  Great!  Put both routers on the same
LAN, and let them exchange routing info, and let them decide which carrier
is best for each type of traffic.  You are planning to be fully multi-homed,
right, exchanging full routing table views with each ISP, right?
