Use a dual-wan type router in front of the SBS.

SBS2003 Prem SP 1, running Exchange SP2. Currently on a commercial level
cable connection. We'd like to have an additional ISP pipe in case the
primary ISP goes offline/down. Thinking of adding a DSL line, as it's cost
effective and decent enough speed.
I know we can configure store and forward on emails. But what we'd
additionally like have is a fail over setup to switch to a different ISP
if
primary goes down. So that internet access and email continues to work. I
know we can add a different "cost routing" in the MX records setup so a
failure of the primary ISP would route email traffic to the
backup/failover
ISP... how does one configure SBS2003 to handle this type of setup, if
possible to setup an auto repsonding fail over for this? TIA- Dodge
