Well for starters, I'm pretty sure your WAN routers (dsl/linksys
router, etc) need to support a routing protocol. Most support RIP and
cisco RIP will support load balancing provided the default route is
the exact same and has the same metric. Statics won't do you any good
here.
The problem for you will be how to get them prioritized for the VLANs
behind the core. By default, the core should load balance (if running
RIP per above) based on session and would allow your vlans to push
load across both internet pipes and would only use one if one failed.
However, if you are hell-bent on sending one vlan over internet
connection 1, and another vlan over internet connection 2, you
probably want to use policy-based routing.
