"BGP is more for political and economical use than efficient routing."

And exactly how would you suggest routing over multiple carriers?

Can you explain how you would begin to get a better/efficient routing
topology, and what protocol you would use??

Yes, I hear you... But since we are an ISP it is something we need. I don't
want to go out and buy a set of Cisco's if I can achieve redundant routing
with m0n0.

I am looking into SNAT, but from the looks of things I will end up buying a
Cisco or Juniper ;)
