If your talking about Load Balancing, yes it is possible but you got to make
sure you have the same "PIPES" in both connections.

Using BGP4 would be the safest way to go to configure this but DO NOT
CONFIGURE this yourself. If it is your first time doing BGP, contact both
providers to SHOW you how BGP Works and is implemented. If you screw up, you
can take out 25-75% of the North American Internet and Lots of Backbone
providers will be angry.

For reduncancy purposes, you can do the following,
each machine will have 2 IPs and 2 Default gateways. One each from Verio
(Primary address) and other from PSI. In your DNS PTR records, make sure you
define both IP addresses the same name. For the A Records, Make the Primary
address first and the secondary address second. Know if your Verio link goes
down, the client from the Internet would first try the verio link, it sees it
is down so therefore then tries the second connection. Theoretically
speaking, the link should revert via PSI and if the first default route is
down or not reachable, it should try the second route.
Then again, it all depends on the Server software you use to see if it
supports multi routing.
