have a look at the "linux 2.4 routing howto" or somesuch. its usually
near iptables docs. you will need "iproute2" installed - there's also
some docs with that (it also needs CONFIG_NETLINK and CONFIG_RTNETLINK
enabled in your kernel).
i know it says "2.4", but most of the stuff still works for late 2.2's.
iirc, equal cost multipath "just works" once you enable the option and
set two routes with the same cost (metric).
it gets a little more exciting with masquerading thrown into the mix,
we found we had to use some of the iproute stuff to restrict packets
to only going out the interface they had been masqueraded to.

heh. do-able, but fun.

a 2.4 kernel will let you do some more flexible routing/firewalling,
but 2.2.17 should be sufficient.
