I'm more concerned about correct fail-over to a working default route if one of them dies. Currently, I'm not sure what gated does if it finds that two routers are advertising a default route as the current code supports one default route at a time. Now with that your code supports multiple indentical routes, would gated automatically remove the ones that stop being advertised? Also, how about multiple interfaces to the same network? For example, let say I have fxp0 and fxp1 connected to the same LAN (10.0.0.0/24) and fxp0 is 10.0.0.2 and fxp1 is 10.0.0.3. The existing kernel code can't easily handle this because there are two identical routes to the 10.0.0.0/24 network.
