It may also be the other way around. "Router" may be used to load balance or fail over connections coming from the intranet going out via two or more internet providers' links. For that there are several options which you can look up:
The linux kernel's 'Equal Cost Multipath' or BGP4: Border Gateway Protocol If it's just http traffic you want, you may want to consider as well SQUID's round robin parent proxies but that requires that both your providers have an internet cache you can use.
