You may wish to use BGP for load balancing the router connections,
Ie. If you have 2 providers, make sure theirs cooperation between the two
when you do BGP configuration.

Subject: [FW-1]
We are trying to implement a private line connection to a vendor utilizing
redundant links, but we also want to load balance traffic across these links
but without having to purchase additional equipment.
Two DS1 terminating into individual routers. These routers will be
connected to the firewall. Is it possible to route traffic from my network
across theses routers to provide load balancing?
DS1 DS1
| |
Router1 Router2
\ /

Firewall

Internal Net
We could establish routing policy that segments our network and then routes
half through router1 and half through router2, but this will not properly
distribute the load across the DS1's. Is there any method of load balancing
router connections w/o the use of a load balancer?
Thanks,
Derek O'Flynn
