As far as I am aware the BT DSLAMs (or rather the software controlling them) can't currently do this which is why many BT Wholesale ISPs can't effectively load balance their pipes. Entanet have discussed the problems with BT's load balancing at length on the thinkbroadband forums but we are probably talking 16 months or so ago now so it might be hard to find the discussions. I could email Enta directly next week if people want but I don't really think there is a need given that IP address based routing would seem to be the most obvious and probably most efficient method of routing opted in people through Phorm's kit.
