Re: BGP load balancing using Loopbacks.

article aslo says "*Note: *You can use static routes in the place of a
routing protocol in order to introduce two equal-cost paths to reach the
destination. In this case, the routing protocol is EIGRP"

if the routes are BGP routes then BGP (with CEF underneath) will take care
of the load balancing not the IGP

check out this command about unequal cost load balaceing for BGP:

'bgp dmzlink-bw'
