Are the two public IPs on the same subnet?
I don't know how lagg(4) will go if your upstream link is more complex than two-ports-on-a-switch. For instance, the lagg interface only grabs one ip address.

The other option is to configure and run routed, the routing daemon. It deals with deciding what interface to send packets out to, when there are multiple 'correct' answers, when a 'default route' no longer makes sense, based on things like 'metrics'. Scary stuff - I'm glad I've never had to deal with it.

I also do not know if routed would work where the two interfaces are on one subnet. Use lagg for that, if you can....
