What if the the ISP providing "that routes to often-used sites" gets down? Will the router deal w/ this situation providing new routes through the other provider or it will be a mess on LAN? (e.g. private LAN w/ two possible connections: one w/ a fixed public IP, but very slow -- 64 kb/s, and the other one through another private LAN, but w/ (much) higher bandwidth -- about 1Mb/s; ISP provided forwarders: when "Internet is down" on either configuration, congestion is obvious).
