Load balancing with Cisco routers?

Just wondering if anyone here has played with load balancing.....

I am helping set up a network for a gaming arena in my area (Project Circuit) I was wondering what would be the best way to run load balancing through the cisco 1841 router.

We are going to be pulling in 2 cable 5d/1u lines into a router, and distributing it to the network (i know that the load balancing will obviously only be used for outbound connections)

Right now i am looking at CEF and ip load-sharing per-packet load balancing ... anyone have any suggestions? I have the cisco 1841 modular router, and there is a 4 port Fast Ethernet WIC on order for it so that i will be able to run lines to the switches. as of now, it has just 2 WAN ports, console and AUX

any help/suggestions would be appreciated

going to be running the cisco 1841 into 2 L3 managed dell 24-port gigabit 2724 switches. as well as a 24port dell powerconnect 10/100 switch.

also I have not touched cisco in close to a year, i have to run through my books.... how would i set up the router to assign IP addresses, or should i have the switches do that? I am really rusty....

Hmm, if anyone would like to contact me ... my AIM is Thrasher1237 .. MSN is Thrasher1237@hotmail.com
