The multipath routing in Linux 2.2 does that fine.
You need to have multipath routing enabled in the kernel configuration.
ip route add net/prefix nexthop dev eth1 weight 1 nexthop dev eth2 weight 1
Note, it is true route balancing, no load balancing by packet.
For details see the iproute2 documentation.
