That's a good question. I was going to answer your other post, but did some tests
which contradicted what I was going to say.
I originally thought if you had two default routes on the same metric, traffic would
just go out the first one, however, when I tried this earlier, I started losing
packets, so I can only assume the packets were going out the other route, and then
getting lost. anyone comment on this ?
If you use the ip route tool to created multiple weighted or equalized default
routes, you then use source-based routing to make sure that the traffic goes back out
the same route it came in on.
(unless you're trying to be tricky with asymetrical routing)
