If you configure Shorewall as described in the MultiISP doc and run LSM,
you will get failover from unstable ISPs. That's what the users that I
know of are doing.

There is a rate estimation capability in Netfilter that could be used to
re-balance more quickly, but Shorewall currently has no support for that
feature. That would be the best approach and I have it on my long-term
goals to implement such support, but I don't have the time to do it in
the near future.
