I'm not a networking guru, and this isn't really my domain, but it sounds like 
maybe you should use some sort of routing daemon to control this with more 
features than route(8) allows.

The quagga package (in the base package set) is a fork of zebra, and I think 
it will do this and more if you need.  If this is overkill or just plain 
incorrect, maybe some people that know better will be tempted to post to 
correct me...

P.S.
There are howto's on getting link load sharing using routes and iptables rules 
that may implement this bahavior as a side effect.  Googling for that may 
yield some good information as well.
