incoming connections can be roughly balanced with
DNS round robin.
The outgoing ones, although not really load balanced,
just spread, is still pretty good. Its not perfect,
but it does work. The biggest wart is that individual
TCP sessions are bound to an interface rather than
individual source IP's. I don't know how to solve that.
