Yes, I suppose this is what you want - Equal Cost Multipath Routes.
This issue is discussed here almost every few days :( so for the start
just -READ THE ARCHIVES- and you will find everything you need.

IMHO the idea is well known but sometimes makes some troubles
(I have such a setup with 3 ISP and no BGP just plain bandwidth aggregation),
and there were much more examples in last year :) on the list.

For the start read my posting from 15th Oct 03 as an working example.

FH>    Thank you in advance.
