CEF per-packet load-share on 6500 / sup720

I have a client who has 1 6500 in each of 2 locations. They have 2 x OC3 connections between the 6500's. Is it possible to run per-packet load-share on these two interfaces to utilize these links equally? How do you turn off L3 switching to enable this? What is the recommended configuration for this scenario?

Not applicable

Per-packet load-sharing is not supported on PFC due to the nature of hardware-based CEF forwarding on Cat6k. Please refer to the link for Load Balancing on 6500 Series :

As mentioned in the following document, "ip load-sharing per-packet" will only apply to traffic being forwarded by MSFC in software level:
