    You can route outgoing bandwidth, but not incoming bandwidth.
However, you might be able to use mechanisms the application layer 
protocols might have (http, ftp) to redirect connections to another IP. 
You could introduce some sort of flag which gets checked on every HTTP 
request, and enable a redirect to the other IP if the flag is set. How 
this would be implemented I'm not entirely sure, but with 
CGI/SSI/PHP/etc I'm sure there's a possibility. For other services like 
ftp, I think it depends on the capabilities of the used software.

Good luck,
