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.
Not exactly a "router vendor", but many of the "route-optimization vendors" can implement this on top of bgp by modifying routes based upon link utilization, loss, latency, etc.. -jba -- [jba@analogue.net] :: analogue.networks.nyc :: http://analogue.net
