While I don't feel that the redundancy of a second ISP is worth the cost
 for me personally, if I had two uplinks I would:

a) Have two external NICs in my firewall; one for each ISP
b) Describe both as 'optional' in /etc/shorewall/providers
c) Specify 'balance' on both (why not?)
d) If one of the links goes down, simply take the interface down
(ifdown) and restart Shorewall.
