Cisco BGP Loadbalancing and GLBP
Hi,
Is it possible to have BGP load balancing on the internet interface (2 different routers) then on the inside could i use GLBP ? Could someone explain how this is possible on cisco equipment?

Yes, ofcourse.....
the most important thing is that BGP can do load sharing not load balancing....BGP choose the best path to the destination ... If you wanna the whole process I should explain it for u .... and for routers redundancy you can use HSRP or GLBP....
this link will be useful for u.......

GLBP can be used to distribute outward traffic, but it does not know how to load balance inward traffic.for eg if you browse website techrepublic.com data will get distributed between the two links, but for return traffic techrepublic's router will find best route between your two ISP link.
Bst solutions is to have default routes on your internet firewall pointing to both of your ISP.
