2 ISPs - Can I connect to one or the other based on MAC address?

I have actually two satellite dishes serving Internet to our remote facility.

Based on machine MAC address, is it possible for certain machines to be provided service from one dish, while other machines are served from the the second dish?

What would be the technical issues involved in doing this?

Thank you very much.

This sounds like something that could be easily solved with routers for each dish. Explain to me a little deeper the setup you're trying to implement. Are you wanting different machines within the same global network to get service from two different sources yet still talk to one another?

Jeremy Weisinger

You could use DHCP reservations and then use PBR to route the traffic accordingly by IP address. This depends on what equipment you have.

William Miller: No, the computers on the different networks would not need to talk to each other.
Jeremy Weisinger: What equipment would we actually need to implement PBR? Cisco routers?

Thanks

Jeremy Weisinger

There are a lot of routers and firewalls that can perform PBR. What do you have?
