Okay, So there is a whole bunch of IF's and's or but's here... Some assumptions:-
If you are the Service Provider for the DSL service and the Alternate / Wireless, then obviously there there some options ... However, most cases, the other connection (it could be cable or dsl or t1, it does not matter...) is on another provider's network that you don't have access to... Then you are left with doing NAT on the lan side and switching over the the primary or secondary WAN ... If you really wanted to be creative.. you can do a Tunnel (VPN or GRE) across the 2nd WAN, back to your network core, which would only make sense if your core was in a very reliable location... etc etc etc. Bottom line is that if you want to do BGP on any link not on your network, you will need the full cooperation of the other provider. And if both connections are on your network, you are not necessarily limited to BGP only....
