use "maximum-paths" in BGP peering. With this you can add multiple routes in the routing table as long as the routes you are getting from the same AS. BUT once this is added it is applied to all BGP peers, not possible to do it for some selected peers. If you have many neighbors on this router than care should be taken before making this decision.
