Default configuring a network with various alternative routes

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to connect two computers, A and B, so that they
can connect to each other using TCP and UDP, and so that I can tell one computer
to send some data over their wireless 802.11 connection, different data over the gigabit lan
connection, and still other data over a satellite connection. The computers dual boot XP and linux
and I need this to work in any OS mix.

For starters, I suppose each computer could have several IP addresses, one for each type of connection, so that connecting with
sockets on a particular kind of connection reduces to knowing which IP address routes over each? For this to work I need a router
that I can configure somehow? Not sure.


Thanks in advance for your help!
