You SHOULD be able to perform this operation with routing via a
routing daemon. Your problem is actually the same as what Peter's
problem is...your just looking at it differently.
Technical feasiblity will rely a lot on what your network
looks like and what your providers are willing to do for
you. Load balancing will be a tad more difficult than just
redundant routing.
These answers are all relative to how you are connected and what
your network looks like. Most likely, BGP will be your answer.
Best of luck.
