[isp-bgp] Load Balance.

[Serge Paquin <isp-bgp@...>]

Hello,

	I am trying to find the best way to load balance 2 links that I have.

	I have 2 T1's from different providers.  The providers are quite 
similar in there coverage but my balance in most cases at best is 66/33.

	Most of my traffic is outbound and I'm wondering if CEF can help me out.

	I have 2 routers running HSRP for the default route in my inside network.

	One T1 is terminated on a Cisco 2621 that uses BGP4 to advertise is 
netblock but runs a default route.

	The other T1 is terminated ona 2691 that has a full BGP session to the 
provider and also a full BGP Multihop session to my other provider via 
the 2621.

	FE0/0 on both routers are on the inside network that is running HSRP.

	FE0/1 is a P2P link between the two routers.

	
	Since the providers are very similar I wonder if I can filter all but 
the default route on the 2691 which would leave me with 2 default routes 
and use CEF on a per destination basis to balance the outbound traffic.

	I'm not sure if this will work or if there is a better solution for me. 
Trying to play with BGP parameters are giving me luke warm results at best.

Thanks,
Serge.
