Yes, and that was what I was alluding to in order to make packets go out the 
correct interface based on the source IP in the packets.

Is a cloud datacenter going to have multiple link types?  I doubt it.  And 
having two VMs would be easier anyways as there are probably other things you're 
going to tune.

A cloud provider is probably going to have multiple links to the Internet, and 
they'll be able to deal with one being down without any action on the part of a 
tenant.

I can only guess the OP wants to do this because their existing architecture is 
doing something like it, but I don't know.
