10 T1s are not enough to need more than 1 fast ethernet interface. 10 *
24 * ~80k(ulaw) =  ~19.2m. You wouldn't have broken a sweat on a 100m
ethernet connection.

BTW, load balancing is a OS/kernel configuration more than it is a
application. You could split your IP ranges up and then move it to a
application range, but if the interfaces are in the same IP network, it
is an OS issue.
