Subject:   Equal-cost multipath routing for FreeBSD 4-STABLE?

Hello FreeBSD gurus,

suppose we have FreeBSD box `A' with 3 network interfaces (ip unnumbered
or numbered - shouldn't matter). This 3 interfaces form 3 parallel IP
channels to some single destination `C' (let's think of another FreeBSD
box `B' with another 3 interfaces at the other end and `C' being an alias
to lo0 of `B' box).

Than let's consider either 3 equal static routes to `C' set at `A', or
OSPF with 3 equal cost routes to `C' from `A'.

Is it possible to tell kernel to route packets between `A' and `B' in a
round-robin way, so that each of 3 channels handle 1/3 of a total consumed
bandwidth? Something like "equal-cost multipath" feature of Cisco IOS?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew Stesin
