I am using Zebra, but it will only keep one route to the same destination= in the routing table at any given time, even if there is more than one v= alid path :( :( I know that Linux has this built-in, and more searching of the 'Net after= posting my initial question revealed that multipath routing is in fact s= omething that many people have been asking for since FreeBSD 3.x. I was = hoping it would have been built into FreeBSD 6 by now.

Hi, this is not a scientific answer, but since no one=20 else replied, here is what I found a while ago... When I installed Freebsd 6, i did a lot of=20 reseach/posting and found out that there is no=20 way freebsd will handle multiple routes to the same destination I was hoping to have two default routes for=20 redundancy (and if possible, load balancing) I never heard of a kernel patch, and if there was=20 one, I wouldn't feel confident with it (just my opinion) I then went with a routing package (there is=20 zebra and quagga) which kinda did the trick. (I=20 used quagga since I had some problem setting up zebra from the ports). It works fine but adds a level of routing that=20 could have been handled by the kernel I guess.
