Anyway in my opinion it should work.
Try something like this:

#IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH = "y"
#(if 2.6.x  IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED = "n" !)
#Here with CONNMARK method (so without Anastasov's patch!).
#Change 192.168.0.0/24 and eth0 to your local network
#address/mask and interface.

ip route add default nexthop via x.x.x.x dev eth1 \
   nexthop via x.x.x.x dev eth2

ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 table 101
ip route add default via x.x.x.x dev eth1 table 101

ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 table 102
ip route add default via x.x.x.x dev eth2 table 102

ip rule add fwmark 1 table 101
ip rule add fwmark 2 table 102

iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 1
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MARK --set-mark 2

iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -j CONNMARK --save-mark
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j CONNMARK --restore-mark

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter

You should also add NAT (MASQERADE) rules.

Nexthop devices will be changed randomly per flow (with some 
caching) so try with destinations from different networks.
