If you don't already have a two isp capable router. Yes there are a few solutions, many require a Router with 2 WAN capable ports to be configured with a Load balancing algorithm. There are several search engines and electronic computer supply websites or stores to find a Dual WAN, or Multiple WAN Router, or some Load Balancing Hardware, sometimes Edge Routers have these features to split traffic or weigh a ratio of throughput to either ISP/WAN connection. Most are limited in the features of the load balance as you can sometimes select either a port or ip to use a specific WAN, or sometimes there is a calculation the device uses to decide which WAN to use. Some devices to look at would be: ZyWALL 110, LRT224, TL-R480T+, and other dual/multiple WAN routers.

Once you have 2 ISP's working, you can use Route Traffic options, possibly VLAN separation, or another option would be UNTANGLE is a software option for advance NAT routing.

You can do it and it is mostly tedious not all that hard.

First get one router working correctly as you want it. You want this router to be your primary router that is doing all your default stuff.

You take your second router and plug the lan together. Disable the DHCP and set the IP to a ip in the same network as the first. So if you main router has 192.168.1.1 set the other to 192.168.1.2.

Now the tedious part.

Use the ROUTE command to set traffic to go to the second router.

You need a list of all the ip you want to go to the second site. You now do

ROUTE ADD xx.xx.xx.xx mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2
