The single biggest step is to realise that both links need separate NAT, or if one ISP gives you real routable subnet, then the other link needs to be NAT'd. (unless you are willing to dual-home every machine you have). If you had a commercial ISP they might use BGP or something but with a home-grade ISP conenction you can't do that. Once you have two connections set up then you can use either multiple FIBS, or packet redirection in ipfw to decide what connectins go to what ISP connection. Incoming sessions must return to the same link that they came in from but how you do that really depends on how you setup your systems.
