i'm been trying this "ip route add ... equalize..." thing. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
however failover is automatic and looks like it works. i can unplug any of the routers and after some time all the pings to different hosts work again. (dead route detection) i also see pings to google going out of routerA and pings to facebook going out of routerB, which means routes are distributed. despite of successful pings i can't telnet to port 80 of google or facebook, and i wonder why?
