ICS on more than just 1 connection?

I currently have successfully got ICS working fine, having sorted out my firewall problems. There is one thing though, the PC that is the ICS Gateway has 2 different connections, 1 is the main connection (which I have set as the shared connection) and another connection in case the main default connection has problems (it's a different dial up) The thing is, I can only share one of these connections, as told when I try and tick "share this connection with other computers" for the 'backup' connection. So my question is, is there any way around this - is it possible to share more than 1 connection?

don't think so. ICS enables a DHCP allocator to assign IP addresses to internal client machines. Only one of those can exist at any given time in this situation.
