Iproute allows you to route packets according to their iptable's MARK
field... you can randomly mark packets from new connections (with the
appropriate ratio for each link), and route on this criterion.
You should have a script in /etc/ppp/if{up,down}.d/ that changes the
routes if one link goes {up,down}.

Your services can listen on both interfaces, no problem with that... you
can have load balancing on those links with multiple DNS records (though
that's not a "good thing" (tm).
Use the iptables MARK to use both at the same time, and the appropriate
iproute setup.

I think the contents of LARTC are enough material for you (and of course,
man iproute, man iptables).
For the record, I've never actually done this kind of setup, I'm just
thinking of what should be done to achieve those things. Somebody correct
me if this is just nonsense.
