Well the reason is that our dsl connections are limited to a max speed of
512K in this country.
So I thought of splitting the load between two dsl lines.
If the box is able to do that dynamically then great.
My question is how?

Perhaps if you post more info, we can come up with creative solutions for
you. My big question is why?

AFAIK, you cannot have more than one default gateway, unless you are using
netgraph to balance between network interfaces. However, you could NAT C & D
to their respective "public" interfaces. If E is a real IP, then the NATed
traffic should flow to that interface.

I would suggest using pf, as it is a most excellent firewall package. 
Here is the section of a PF guide regarding NAT.

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/nat.html

Your rules would look like this (these are from memory, so sanity check
them):

--
#define your interfaces as macros:
A = "fxp0"
B = "fxp1"
C = "fxp2"
D = "fxp3"
E = "fxp4"

#define your NAT translations using our macros:
nat on $A from ($C:network) to any -> $A nat on $B from ($D:network) to any
-> $B

#define your filtering rules:
...
--

However, you will find that route add will not allow multiple default
routes. You must use another package to allow for that, or at least it is
beyond my knowledge. Let me know if you figure it out, I would be very
interested.
