I don't think that will do what he wants. You'll get asymetric routing
in this case. The packet will go to the 199.185.xx.xx gateway and out
that way, but it will come back the other way since it will have a
source address on 24.86.xx.xx. In fact, it's quite possible that the
DSL ISP will drop packets with a source address that doesn't belong to
them.
