Hello,

        I just want to ask if there is a facility in the kernel that load
balance to different default routes, since i'm using this routes for
uplink purposes only (my downlink is via satellite, it doesn't matter
where i send my packets uplink as long as it reaches the internet
backbone).

for example

        in my box, I have routes as describe below

        destination gateway netmask
        default isp1 0.0.0.0
        default isp2 0.0.0.0

Want i want is for the kernel to load balance (e.g round robin) uplink
packets to isp1 and isp2. If this in is not possible in the current
kernel, where in the kernel source files can i start hacking to make this
possible?

TIA
