Re: controlling outgoing traffic among dual links BGP

For outbound, enable EIGRP between the ASA and your WAN edge routers.
Establish EIGRP adjacencies with your ASA and each WAN edge router.

Inbound, if you have a public prefix, and its large enough, split it in two.
Advertise half out each connection, prepend the other half on each link for link failure.

As long as the ASA receives the same internet routes out of both routers it should use ECMP
to load balance outbound.

The advertisement of two halves of your prefix wont give you load balancing per se.
But it will allow both links to your ISP to get used. Its better than one link just sitting there
doing nothing.

Cheers
