   For ipfw:

 	#Divert traffic from internal out and in interface ISP A
 	ipfw add 101 divert natd ip from any to any via $fxp0
 
 	#Divert traffic from internal network in and out ISP B
 	ipfw add 201 divert natd2 ip from any to any via $INTERFACE_A
 
 	#Leave on for testing until it works
 	ipfw add 3000 allow ip from any to any
 
   For natd:
 	Then after you do that setup the 2 different natd`s to listen on
 	different ports (default 8668) and another entry int
 	/etc/services:
 
		natd2           8669/divert # Network Address Translation
 
	Then run the nat`s seperately:
 
 		root# natd -p 8668 -n fxp0
 		root# natd -p 8669 -n fxp1

   For routing:

    Add 2 default routes, one primary (ISP A) and one backup (ISP
    B).  Since ISP A is a prefered route...it gets the more specific
    route:

      root# route add -net 0.0.0.0 $GATEWAY_IP_ISP_A -netmask 128.0.0.0
      root# route add -net 128.0.0.0 $GATEWAY_IP_ISP_A -netmask 128.0.0.0

      root# route add -net 0.0.0.0 $GATEWAY_IP_ISP_B -netmask 0.0.0.0
