[c-nsp] load balancing

[Rodney Dunn]

Why not just put the two T1's in a MLPPP bundle?

You have to be careful when trying to do PBR with
recursive next hops.  We didn't use to support that
but I seem to remember a new option:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1829/products_feature_guide09186a008021de72.html

that does what you just said.  I think that is going to
be in the next release of 12.3T code.
