    Totally true and problem get worse when you already have the equipament
    and have to implement a solution over it.
    We are also using a script at this moment but it doesn't do load
    balance. What it only do is to check if the current provide
    are okay, and if not, it change the default route to the other. But it
    think this is not the best solution at all.

    What I basicly need is to have some kind of route protocol at our side
    that checks for the small path and choose it.

    Does it is much harder to implement ?

    Cheers
