Yuck.  Getting multirouting involves patching the kernel and upgrading to
-current, and even then the patches have to be updated for a current
-current.  To boot, the return path will use only one of the links since
the remote doesn't know about your mulitrouting configuration.

I was going to do this myself but the level of effort necessary and the
limited payback wasn't worth it.
