I've been playing with doing equalized multipath routing tonight using
the ip route commands and found some interesting things out. The
Advanced Routing page is the right path. I've had an issue with
multipath route caching though and only one of my routes is being used.
Apparently, there is a kernel option that is messing me up, so I'm
recompiling now. If CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED is enabled, for
some reason, it won't load balance. It will fail-over, but it won't load
balance. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow night when I get the
new kernel installed and routing tested.
