[c-nsp] BGP for multi-homed environment

[Alex Foster]

To begin with Im a novice with BGP and its terminology so please forgive any inaccuracies.  I am migrating our existing network from a single upstream connection to a dual-fed environment (different ISPs).  I have all the BGP information that I need (AS numbers etc) but am a little unsure as to the best topology/configuration to implement.  I want to connect each feed into a separate router and load share from my network.  First off - is this possible ??  I have been allocated a class C address block.  I also want the ability to provide seamless failover between both providers.  I am also a little unsure as to what is required with regards to filtering etc;  what is the best policy here??
 
If anybody implements a similar configuration - I would appreciate some tips or feedback.
 
Kind Regards
 
Alex
