three words:
equal cost multipath.
It's a kernel advanced routing option. enable it on your favorite kernel;
and grap the iproute2 package from any distro mirror - redhat has it on
contribs, mandrake 7.2 has it installed stock.
After that you can specify several default routes which your kernel will
happly load balance.
Note that this is for outgoing connections only. Meaning you can have
squid "load balance" your HTTP requests via the two routes.
you can also specify weights to the individual routes so you can "favor"
one over the other ...
