There are some algoritms, for example round-robin It is not a problem if you assign two equal routes you know what you want. If you have two links to one provider and want to balance outgoing traffic it is much better to do it with to similar routes. > Shouldn't you just use BGP instead? That's what it was designed > to support. OSPF have equal cost multupath, An BGP too (If I not mistaken) so lack of kernel support of more then one route for one destination=20 is not good. Zebra on Linux can do OSPF equal cost multipath but on FreeBSD cant. Times ago there was hack for multipath routing on: ftp://ftp.flirble.org/pub/unix/hacks/FreeBSD/mpath/ but it seems this page now removed. :( > -- Terry =20 --=20 Vladimir B.
