Personally, to make this work "properly" you are going to need 3 PC / Servers to load balance, well, to get the true benefits from a load balancer.
There is a much simpler way of doing this.. I think..
Use your DSL Modem, slap a router / switch on the end. Saves the exspense of two modems etc.
For a webserver, I would never, ever, ever, touch Windows, its simply pants and the new version of Server 2008 will only allow for 64bit..
Personally and this is personally, I would slap A centos Distro on the machine(s) with Apache, works far superior.
Just my 2 cents worth..

I know it's only your opinion, but there is nothing wrong with IIS6 once it's correctly configured. As for 2008 only being 64bit is just utter rubbish.
To the OP, you'll prob find that there's some persistance on your MAC address that's keeping you to one WAN port.
I'd personnally look to do port specific load balancing, and enabling QoS.
Say one connection for port 80/443/53 etc... and another for the likes of downloading via torrent / webserve.
I don't think mutlitreaded applications will not benefit from dual wans anymore than a singletreaded application would. Threads are CPU related only.
