I created a Virtual Machine with ClearOS to set up two internet connections, but I'm having a little trouble to divide the two, someone would have some guide for me to support me?

You need to ask actual questions on ServerFault, not just say "I have trouble, please help". – gparent May 18 '12 at 13:52

When you are using a computer as a router or firewall, it needs a physical connection to each network. If you are trying to set up load balancing and/or failover between two internet connections, doing this in a virtual machine doesn't make much sense.

In your case, there are at least three networks: your LAN, and each of two internet connections. Accordingly, you need to start with a physical machine that has at least three Ethernet ports, and work from there.
