LARTC - Nov 2006 - Multi Homed Host

Can someone refer me to any links which explain how to configure a stand
alone linux host (not a router) with 2 ISP links in such a way that the
traffic is distributed between the 2 ISPs ?

Thank you,

What if the the ISP providing "that routes to often-used sites" gets
down?
Will the router deal w/ this situation providing new routes through the
other provider or it will be a mess on LAN? (e.g. private LAN w/ two
possible connections: one w/ a fixed public IP, but very slow -- 64 kb/s,
and the other one through another private LAN, but w/ (much) higher
bandwidth -- about 1Mb/s; ISP provided forwarders: when "Internet is
down"
on either configuration, congestion is obvious).
