I haven't tried it but I suspect all you need to do is have both names
in /etc/hosts but otherwise confine the ISP-specific things to two
diffferent chat or dip scripts.  Then you will need to switch between
two different /etc/resolv.conf files for different nameservers depending
on the start-up script you call (one per ISP).

You might also (optionally) want to simultaneously install and configure
two independent dummy interface modules for the two IP addresses.
