I have read of people doing this with OpenBSD's pf on FreeBSD. If you
search through the archived lists you should be able to find that
somewhere.... Otherwise, I think you may only be able to do round robin
outgoing connections for maximized bandwidth. Perhaps if you are
planning to serv out of these, you may want to think of doing some sort
of roundrobin DNS...
