Yep. ISP A is our current upstream provider.

I was thinking of having default routes pointing to both the ISPs

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 i.s.p.a
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 i.s.p.b

If I remember correctly from one of your earlier postings here, this would
make packets use both the links (alternatively) and would work. Correct me
if I am wrong.
