Round robin on two IP connections?

Hello,

Just got my new server installed and my host provider offered me två separate connections with two different IPs from two different ISPs so that the server is availible as much as possible.

I havnt setup this type of connection before and im not sure where to start. The server will have two IPs and the idea is to balance traffic on both lines and if one goes down, the other connection will take over all traffic.

Im worried about sessions.. Will this affect user sessions?? And how do I config the server to use 2 IPs?

Thx!
