We went through this same thing several years back, BGP is a large

by several vendors that handle this type of high availability / load

many more. No need for ASN's no need for a full /24 network, it all
works via DNS.

That certainly sounds interesting - it just lets DNS alternate which
ISP that customer uses? See any problems with the 40+ site-to-site VPN
users, since they're up all the time (with luck)? I would think their
routes stay pretty static anyway.
For Mathew, we're using BGP now - though the one carrier's network
throws a fit with it more often than we would like.
More of the details of our current situation: we have a burstable DS3
from one carrier and two T1s from another. Going out, we route all
associates through the smaller connection. Coming in we hope that
customers will use the bigger pipe and far too often that isn't the
case. The smaller carrier is the one that has BGP spasms.
