how do i tell safari to use my wireless connection instead of ethernet?

at work my mac pro is connected to our company network via ethernet. but i also have a verizon dsl connection via airport. i only want safari to use my airport connection, and everything else to be using the company network via ethernet. for the life of my i can't figure this out. i have searched the interwebs high and low. please help.
 
Impossible. You can arrange an order of preference for your network connections in your network preferences, but you cannot specify per program.

The only thing I can think of is to make a separate user. Set that user's preferences to use your DSL connection via airport and browse on that user only. Use fast user switching. That's the only workaround I can think of. :confused:
