Since these are Julian's patches (from what I can tell), he might be
the best person to ask, but, how hard would it be to do:

$ ip route add default table 100 nexthop via aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd dev eth2
weight 1 nexthop via bbb.ccc.ddd.eee dev eth1 weight 0

And have the first link used fulltime, and the second (eth1) link only
used when the first is "dead".

Is "weight 0" used for anything right now, or even possible?
