I think you need policy routing:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/configuring-policy-based-routing-to-define-alternative-routes_configuring-and-managing-networking

https://doc.lagout.org/network/inetdoc/Policy_Routing_in_Linux_ENG.pdf

Although it may be tempting to use some sort of round-robin, it would be
safer to have specific rules based on the destination, so for example you
send all web traffic to one ISP and add exceptions to route specific
traffic to the second ISP (e.g. streaming platforms), with each rule having
a "backup route" to the other ISP.

Cheers,
Lorenzo
