 The reason why I've made this patch is that I needed some sort of failover
and not load balancing. Corect me if I'm wrong but it seams that you've
added support for some sort of load balancing. Anyway, I will certainly take
a closer look at your work and maybe try to adjust it to my needs.

That is corect but it does not remove the ifp reference of a gateway route.
