There are two ways to do this correctly. (May be more, but only 2 I know of)

If you have a switch that can do port-trucking then download the latest Ethernet bonding patch and bond the interfaces. (I suggest that you use the latest bonding patch because the code in the kernel is flakey last time I checked)
Install iproute2. With iproute2 you can have seperate routing tables for each interface and then set a default route that load balances the interfaces for outbound traffic.

Both solutions give you increased throughput.
