Split horizons?

Hi all,

I wounder if somebody could point me in the right direction for info on setting up Split Horizons? Not sure if I have the terms correct. Basicly I have two ISP lines and would like to use both for internet traffic either load-balanced or by IP.

Thanks in advance. J

way to use different ISPs for Internet traffic is by applying for a dedicated AS and IP-range and use BGP to route the traffic over the different ISPs but this is very difficult to set up so unless you're system is highly mission critical I'd go for dedicated hardware solution.
