Your problem is actually the same as what Peter's problem is...your just looking at it differently. Technical feasiblity will rely a lot on what your network looks like and what your providers are willing to do for you. Load balancing will be a tad more difficult than just redundant routing. These answers are all relative to how you are connected and what your network looks like. Most likely, BGP will be your answer. Best of luck. Nick Rogness - Drive defensively. Buy a tank.
