BGP4 is the way to be truely multi-homed, but that not likely
to be an option. SCTP promises looks promising for the future,
but it is implemented at the service/application level.


I will be interested to see what others suggest for
low-budget multi homing....or some subset thereof.

I'm glad you posted this question, as my situation is slightly
different (single static IP currently) on a cable modem, but
my needs are similar to yours.
