The office where I work has internet
connection via satellite (Bentley Walker's).
The internet speed is 512/128 kbps dynamic.
The speed decreases according to the traffic
load. Right now we have proper internet
connection for about 3-4 hours. After that
speed drops.
We want to connect another assymetric
satellite internet connection (with only
download option).

The office has only one server: windows
server 2003 sp1 with isa server 2006
installed.

I need that server should always use first
inet connection for upload and use both inet
connections for download in schedule. For
example: Between 7AM to 11AM first ISP after
11AM second ISP. Can ISA Server 2006 do it
alone or I need third party software.
If I can manage it we are going to try this
settings for a while. If the expected
internet performance wont be acheived may be
we will have to change the settings for using
both of them at the same time. But then I
guess I will need a router to accomplish it.

I am going to set up another NIC for the
second ISP to the server. So the server will
have 3 NICs. 2 for WAN and one for LAN.

Thanks

I would look into a Dual WAN Router instead of using all those NICs.
