In order to do more advanced things, such as non-equal capacity load balancing, you need to have knowledge of the "load" on a link (or the servers in the case of 4-7 load balancers). This is something that "routers" have typically avoided, and I'm not aware of any router vendors who attempt to do load balancing based on the load of a link.
cisco's EIGRP can do it, but it is disalbed by default, and not recommended.
EIGRP is certainly off by default, as are all routing protocols. You may not recommend it, but we have lots of customers who like it; it's not like _cisco_ doesn't recommend it. There's another way to do this with MPLS-TE, but not everybody likes that, either. :) eric
