the command line i have used originated from
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
about: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes
are you aware of a specific bug/patch relevant the command i issued,
or is it just a pointer to the patches available in general.

Hi Erez,
What you are requesting to do is not trivial, though not too complicated.
Basically I would suggest you'll read the following documents (the
first has a link for the second, but it was worth mentioning here
too):
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes
The first one is one the sections of "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic
Control HOWTO"
The second is a page with some kernel patches that can help you
achieve your goal. (It also points for what he calls nano's howto,
which explains how to use these patches)
goodluck,
Noam
