setup equal costs static routes to each route.. ?
default LB should be on IP SRC / DST, so each flow of conversation will use one of your pipes..
it wont give one flow the combined BW of both lines.. but it will give the network the combined BW of both lines.
you can do policy routing if you need something specific to use one path and not the other.
dynamic routing works but not sure if you ISPs will run it with you .. if they do ask them if they can run BGP with you .. true multi home then .. you can advertise one set of IP to both ISPs... if truly two ISP then you qualify for your own AS number..etc..etc..
We must go always forward, not backward
always up, not down and always twirling twirling towards infinity.
