Arnd Hannemann provided something quite close to what I was thinking
about. I would just make a few adjustments. I added a rule for locally
generated traffic if needed. Also, using the PPP peer as gateway could
be troublesome if both links have the same peer address, so I used the
device instead.

iptables -t mangle -N mark6
iptables -t mangle -A mark6 -m statistic --mode nth --every 2 -j MARK
--set-mark 6

# forwarded traffic, $LANDEV is the interface connected to the LAN
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $LANDEV -j mark6
# locally generated traffic to the PPP link
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -j mark6

ip rule add fwmark 6 table ppp1
ip route replace default dev ppp0
ip route replace default dev ppp1 table ppp1

It still needs some refinements such as excluding non-external
destinations from the PREROUTING rule. Your setup seems much simpler and
efficient.
