Hi Charles, I have had this problem too. Infact, I think it has been the topic of discussion here many times.
My problem is I have a customer (online trading presence) with two ISP connections (both E1's) however they only have a /26 on each connection. Because this is such a small network, no one is going to add them to their BGP tables (apart from the ISP that owns them). I looked at getting a provider independent address range, but again, because it is so small, it may not get added to some ISP's routing tables (people, please feel free to clarify this better) which means that not everyone in the world will be able to connect. The solution (at the moment) is to just have two separate networks (pretty much), and have two NIC's in the trading servers, with custom application layer proxies in front of them, so that requests hitting each card go out the same way they came in.

This network has 2 connections to the internet, 1 is by a T3 the other is a 512K T1. Each connection to the internet comes out of a subnet, goes through a firewall, and then through a Cisco 7200 router. We have static routes in place to assure that the returning packets go to the proper firewall. I don't know for sure if the routers connecting to the internet are running BGP or some thing else. We have seen packets go out one interface and return on the other. I suspect that something is not right with the border routers.
