Hi Dan, no, I am not using it with astlinux. Probably it's not hard adding it. Though this might not be the only or best option for astlinux. That's something the developers should comment on. Of course if you are familiar with the astlinux internals, you could give it a try yourself. Maybe you don't need all the features from mpath-tools. I.e. maybe you are happy with just the core + cli. But maybe you also like the web interface ;-)
Some 'multi-route' functionality can probably also be done with arno-firewall. But I am not familiar with arno. Again that's something for Darrick and Lonnie.
