You can't load-balance under these conditions. You will experience asymmetrical routing. One link needs to be designated as primary while the other as secondary /or/ failover.

You can only load-balance with BGP and having both ISPs announce your public segment out to the internet. I don't think your provider will offer that under your current service since you have dynamic IPs. You need static IPs for this kind of configuration.

HTH,
