Hi Tim You can not be load balancing like this.
Even if you change the AD(Administarative Distance) of the EIGRP to 1 , and you have a static route for the same destination with an AD 1, the router will use one of them. It can not use both of the routes at the same time... According to me this is logical as well. Even if the ADs are same , metrics will make sense for the same routing protocol. Also one more correction: you have the AD for the static routes, not the metric... when you write ip route 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 2.2.2.2 xxx for example if you put "?" after the 2.2.2.2 you will see " distance metric for this route" not let this to confuse you, this xxx is AD in fact...
