You would still need a routing device.

If I not mistaken, Team NICs doesn´t work very well with ISA...

I´ve seen too many people complain about this before... or this issue only happens with ISA EE+NLB?

Paulo Oliveira.

Rainconnect used to do it, but it it no longer avaiolable.

A twin wan router is your nest bet.

Google for outbound load balancing, inbound load balancing, for example, you will get many results for various products, vendors and the way they accomplish the load balancing, what features they offer...
Say: http://www.xincom.com/twinwan.php
Also you may find some reviews/tests for various products.
Looking at your IP addresses and DGWs, it looks like you use two Internet connections from the same ISP. That does not sound very good in respect with the failover idea.

I don´t think you can do this, the best option will be use another hardware in front of ISA Server.
