You set up Squid.

And what you're describing isn't load balancing. Might also help when you ask a question, to provide some details. Version/distro of Linux, etc....

or you can do this by routing.
for instance, facebook.com:

Code:

ip route add -net 69.63.176.0/20 dev eth2

route for all other sites:

Code:

ip route add default dev eth1

You replace the Facebook address with the YouTube address, obviously.

Probably also remove all other routes on eth2 to stop the rest of the traffic from going through it.
Similarly, remove route to the addresses for eth2 from eth1.

Hmm, I'm not sure what happens if the same route is mentioned for two ethernet interfaces.
