Nicholas,
Heh, Heh. You just missed a long discussion about dual connected ISP's. I don't
know that we ever came to a concensus.

A complete solution will probably involve a combination
of techniques. BGP or firewall HA by itself is not enough to deal with all
the issues raised in providing fault tolerance in a multi-site, multi-homed
network. You'll want to consider at how this affects your DNS and default
gateway assignments as well.

Some discussed BGP, and some suggested Rainfinity, but the above quote by Mark
Decker of Rainfinity sums it up.
At least it's a starting place,
