I don't believe you can successfully load balance too two separate AS's
(ISP's), from a single AS (say your domain). BGP does not work that'a way.
You'd have to have separate gateway AS's coming from the two ISP's & have
IBGP make the decisions within the domain (bellow the two gateways).
Does this make sense ??? Am I on target :-)
