hi,
I couldn't write the script for configuring my linux machine that
has two external MAC interfaces as a router. The NAT should route the
packet from internal network to one of the two external mac interfaces
acoording to load balance in the each interface.
can anybody help me to solve this problem?
with regards..

I don't think netfilter is the best tool for the job.
There is a kernel feature that allows bonding of two interfaces for traffic
sharing and traffic equalization afair (although i havn't used it
personally).
You can of course share the traffic with netfilter by marking packets in
pre-routing and then routing them according to netfilter mark - but you must
define yourself how to distribute the traffic between interfaces - i don't
recall any target that could serve as a classic load balancing.
