You are right, Zebra will keep only one route in freebsd routing table = since Freebsd cannot handle more. At Least zebra will change that route in the routing table if it detects some kind of network topology change (depending on the routing protocol) Best I've been able to reach. I really don't know why freebsd still = doesn=92t support that Linux and even windows supports that :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ian Lord MSD Informatique 1711 Mont=E9e Major Terrebonne (Qu=E9bec) J7M 1E6 T=E9l: (514) 776-MSDI -> (514) 776-6734 Sans Frais: 1(877) 776-MSDI -> 1(877) 776-6734 http://www.msdi.ca -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Webster, = Andrew Sent: 8 f=E9vrier 2006 09:11 To: Ian Lord; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Multiple routes to same destination? 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 = valid 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 something 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.
