Anybody used this router before? Does it have all the standard features of a load balancer such as binding traffic to a specific interface e.g. smtp traffic to wan 1.

Yes. Load balancing needs to know which protocols to assign to which WAN.
There are also ways to assaign things like specific http requests to different sites on different WAN connections.
