I can add this route to a vanilla kernel (OK, > it has the vserver patch but that doesn't really touch multipath routing). I guess I must have done something else wrong. I tested this on Debian Unstable with the regular packaged linux 2.6.22-3-amd64, but if I follow the example you gave below it works for me too.

The only thing that remains is the false statement in the documentation about having to patch the kernel. Lets treat this report as a bug against the documentation from now on. I'll try to dig some and see if I can find it which kernel version the support first appeared. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson
