I am trying to configure unequal cost load balancing in EIGRP and am a little confused about a couple of parts. I have an ipsec gre tunnel using comcast, as well as a point to point t1 that I want to balance across.

I have set the variance, set traffic-share to balanced, enabled IP CEF and on each interface set ip load-sharing per-packet.

My routing table shows EIGRP routes across both the tunnel interface as well as the T1 to the networks I am interested in.

Do I need to restart the interfaces on the router to have the ip load-sharing per-packet command take effect? Are there any other steps that I need to take to make this function correctly?

I wouldn't think so -- if the information is in the routing table it should be in affect immediately.

One word of warning though: you probably want to use 'per flow' load-balancing and not 'per packet' otherwise you are going to have some horrible performance issues.

I think Peter has it right. It sounds like it's already working if the info is in your routing table already. Try using 

show ip eigrp topology

It will give you a list of all feasible successors, if both are in your list it should be load balancing.
