To answer my own question...

I need to look into BGP for inbound connections, rather than secondary
MX records and the like.  And, it seems, most BGP capable routers also
can intelligently direct traffic over two connections that have the same
cost.

Anyone have any suggestions for BGP capable routers?  Just because I
found out how it is done doesn't mean I'm going to pick the best
hardware on the first try...

TIA,

Never having done this, I am looking for some advice:

We are going to be shaving a few channels off of out backup voice T1 to
use as a backup internet connection through a different ISP.  

I know how I can set up DNS records so that my mail and VPN traffic will
flow inbound over that connection as necessary, but I am looking for
something that I can use as an outbound load balancer... 

Something that I could attach to both data lines from the two T1's, and
would intelligently direct outbound traffic based on usage of each line.

Does such an animal exist?

If it helps, I am also in the market for a new border firewall, so I
could replace all in one... Now that I think about it, I bet ISA2004
could handle it.  Maybe I'll ask the Shinders too...

TIA for any advice,
