Yes, we did experience a problem. The routing doesnt work as advertised
(i.e. it wont utilize the multiple routes). Patrick is correct in saying
its missing support.

From what you are saying it seems the problem will be corrected by a new
feature in iproute2 that allows the user to select this ability. Is this
correct? Also, does this mean my patch is not needed? It seems to me that
it should be supported somehow in the kernel seeing as how everyone might
not utilize iproute2.

Once again, please cc me in the reply because I am not a member of the
list.

Thanks,
Patrick Jenkins
