Thanks a lot for the quick response.
I found out that PIX will basically not allow two equal cost static routes
to the same network or 0/0
However, what if I get the PIX to run RIP? Will it accept multiple
"RIP-advertised defaults" and install them in the routing table? If so will
it do any load-balancing based on these RIP routes?
Thanks
Sanjay

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.
