hello I do not think you should mess a lot with interdomain routing here. Such = a scenario (multiple uplinks from the same ISP) IMHO is better be solved = on the layer 2. What you need is some technology that utilizes two Ethernet ports at = once. About a week or two ago on this list was discussed similar setup = using Cisco technology. Search for subject "ng_fec and Cisco 2931". I f = your ISP is using the switch/router that supports FEC, you could do this = trick. Also most 3com intelligent switches support aggregating links via = multiple 100Mbit channels. If you have put 3com equipment on both sides = of your internet connection you'll can get what you want. Hope that helps. BTW the first and best thing to do is to ask such question to your ISP.
