Windows 2008 - mulitple nics, single subnet - appear as "one"

Basically I want to have some sort of balancing/tolerance on the machine. The NICs are differing brands (and not server ones, so I'm not able to team them.

They both currently get their own ip address from dhcp, which I dont have a problem with, but I wouldn't mind both being accessible via the same server name - is this possible?

Any one know how? I'd hope that if accessible they would automagically split traffic (on each new connection) across the two nics? So say if I was copying a large file on nic1, initiating a another file copy would use the 2nd nic?

I'd just prefer to not have to do the two file transfers using the servers 2 names (or ip addresses direcctly).
