quagga [1] is a suite, with it you can run rip, bgp, ospf, etc. usualy
for peering with a ISP bgp is used. but this does require that your isp
supports it.

with quagga and the kernel compiled with multipath (they was last time i
set up one) you can get multiple paths to the same prefix. 


a Different aproch that does not require the aid of your isp, is to
configure 2 interfaces with separate routing tables. and a third main
routingtable. [2] I also use a debian example [3] not sure if that is
100% bering compatible. 

you can then fail down the interface by pinging your isp's thru that
spesific interface. And removeing the entry for that isp's interface in
your main routingtable when it's down.
