By default, BGP chooses one best path among the possible equal-cost paths

include the maximum-paths paths  command under the BGP configuration. Use a
number between 1 and 6 for the paths  argument.

That feature is only of use if you are dual-homed to the same AS.

Not totally correct. This feature is only of use if you are dual homed from a *single router* to the same AS. If you have 2 totally separate routers in totally different places connected to the same AS (again in 2 different places), then bgp max-paths will have no affect.
