I can't comment on how well it does it (because I don't have it in that
mode)... but I'm certain that the Linksys' RV082 has "load balancing"
because I have seen the setting on the control panel and its also listed on
their website:

http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=589
"Features dual Internet ports for load balancing and connection redundancy"

Although, it should say "or" not "and" because you can't have it both ways.
