I don't think you accomplished what you wanted to do. Setting all the
costs to be the same causes OSPF to act like RIP. That is, the metric now
becomes a hop count. So unless you have the same number of hops, it won't
work.

Even then, route-cache will cause per destination load-balancing.

One other thing to consider, you cannot control incoming packets (unless
you use bgp)..
