I'm administrator of a small office network. We have a Sonicwall firewall SOHO3 and a cable connection to the Internet. We will setup a second connection (DSL). The idea is to use both connections, some protocols will use Cable and others will use DSL. How can I configure my network to use two internet connections with one firewall? Will need to use two routers?

Depends on your router. Cisco 1720 can support two WICs (Wan Interface Cards) as can the Netopia 7200R. I don't know if either has a cable interface card. If your router does not support multiple interface cards, then you will need two routers. I then becomes more complicated, but not imposible. You should try to work with your ISPs to provide a solution.
One solution to the problem, though not cheap, is a product made by Amplify.net called iSurfJanus-RX. you can read about it on their site www.amplifynet.com.
