No, a PIX will not allow you to do that.
Also, if you could in fact load-balance outbound traffic, you
still wouldn't have a way to load-balance inbound, unless you
have provider-independant addresses and both providers announ-
ced your address space for you.
I've found no short-cut way to do load-balancing. The best way
to do that is by using BGP.
