Without a further, network diagram this is rather lacking. How, for 
instance, are you getting the two WAN "lines" to the server? It's 
this focus which is critical and you're ignoring.

Load balancing of circuits and routing according to the best path are 
well solved problems. Don't try and invent something.

Also, how big of a CIDR block are you getting? Can't you do BGP or 
something similar?
