routers

Agreed. When it works, BGP is wonderful for redundancy. It takes a bit to
get it configured, tested and perfect.

If I remember right (the last BGP config I did was in 1998), you'll need to
setup your ASN#, set neighbors to advertise your routes... you can also use
HSRP to do the swap between routers should one of them die.... tons of fun.
Check out cisco's site for the details.
