In this very mailing list (archived) you can find several messages by yours truly. You see, till about a year or so ago I was sort of running like that. Without the automatic fallover. It also describes the configuration(s) I used in detail. In detail since I had a tiny problem with it. A problem the guru's that be assured me was purely my own fault. But even if I *did* listen to them, the problem would not go away. Don't ask me what the problem was, this more than a week ago ;). It was a minor problem, no show stopper. Had to do, IMHO, with the fact that the two ISPs used distinct address ranges. You see, this was on a single CATV link and thus using one NIC. I'm still of the opinion that the aliassing code was not designed for that. But then, what do I know? ;). If you can use two NICs (besides the NIC for the internal net) you should have no problem.
