Hmm. Try reading the ip route 2 documentation on the ip command, and look
at the 'nexthop' arguments to route add. This will set up multipath routes
which do most of what you want.
There does seem to be something of a discrepancy between the ordinary
default route code and the multipath code in the handling of down
links that might bite you though when one of the links goes down...
Doei, Arthur. (Still figuring that last one out)
