Subject: Load balancing between two WAN gateways

Greetings,

We are trying to load balance our WAN traffic for the LANs we are
hosting. We would like to find a solution that would be transparent both
for incoming and outgoing traffic.

We can scheme the issue as follows :

ISP1 ISP2
| |
| |
------------------------------- ... backbone (10.0.0.0/8)
| | |
R1 R2 R3
| | |
client1 client2 client3 (all: 192.168.X.0/24, where X can be
the same digit for all clients)

As a solution to balance the traffic in order to provide the best
service to our LANs, we have thought about placing a router on our ISP
xDSL modem and using BGP4

Would this solution solve our problem ?

What (other) solution would be best, to you ?

Regards,
