Recently I gave eql a try to spread load across two links that I controlled 
both ends of. I had lots of problems and I believe eql has not been actively 
maintained in the kernel for a long time. The enslaving of links works for 
outbound, but not for inbound traffic. I was able to use the 
/proc/.../rp_filter set to 0 to allow the backtraffic through, but it was in no 
way 'balanced'.

Then I used the teql queueing discipline in the QoS services. This works much 
better, is more configurable and actively maintained and documented. Basically 
eql is a poor mans teql.

So I suggest reading up on the QoS support in the kernel. It also helps to 
control both ends of your link (rather than two seperate connections to an ISP)

Kind Regards
