Load Balancing for Incoming Traffic

Hi everyone:

One of my customer is using two different circuits to
reach two different Internet gateways. I am doing load
balancing for outgoing traffic by using MHSRP. Now my
customer wants to do load-balancing for incoming
traffic as well. The only way I can think of is
advertising half of customer's IP block from one
internet gateway and the other half block from the
second internet gateway (full block will still be
advertised from both gateways, but advertising half
block will be more specific, therefore will be
preferred). But I dont think this is a good way to do
it, is there any other feasible method to do it ?

I am running OSPF with customer's routers and then
redistributing it into BGP at my internet gateway, but
I can also run BGP with customer's routers using
private AS numbers at customer's end.

Thanks in advance

KJ
