Under the "Sample setup" section at
"http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Bridge":

" # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
 # ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
 # brctl addbr mybridge
 # brctl addif mybridge eth0
 # brctl addif mybridge eth1
 # ifconfig mybridge up"

" # ifconfig mybridge 192.168.100.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"

They're forcing two NIC's to act as one, with a single IP address.
This won't be possible with two different ISP's.  What you might
consider doing is sending different protocols through the different
ISP's, but bridging probably isn't going to work for you in your
situation.
