Re: configuring linux machine as a router with two external interfaces

I don't think netfilter is the best tool for the job. 
There is a kernel feature that allows bonding of two interfaces for traffic 
sharing and traffic equalization afair (although i havn't used it 
personally).
You can of course share the traffic with netfilter by marking packets in 
pre-routing and then routing them according to netfilter mark - but you must 
define yourself how to distribute the traffic between interfaces - i don't 
recall any target that could serve as a classic load balancing.
