[LARTC] Two routing cache entries

[LARTC] Two routing cache entries

[senthil]

hi all,
i am setting up a load balancing network with failover,
i have applied julian patch,
but whenever i try to establish a new connection from any client node, it gives me two
entries in the routing cache for that destination with different or same interface for those entries,
but off the two entries only one route path is used for the transmission. 

the ip rule/route are as follows,

        ip rule add prio 222 table 222
        ip route add default table 222 proto static \
                nexthop via $GWE1 dev $IFE1 weight 1\
                nexthop via $GWE2 dev $IFE2 weight 1

if i see the routing cache for that ip,
shows following,

205.158.62.141 via 203.88.135.213 dev eth1  src 203.88.135.212
    cache  mtu 1500 advmss 1460
205.158.62.141 from 192.168.1.51 via 203.88.135.205 dev eth2  src 192.168.1.242
    cache <src-direct>  mtu 1500 advmss 1460 iif eth0

please see eth1 and eth2 in both entries,

what can be the reason behind this,
thanx in advance,
Regards,
senthil
