Why do you care? Unless you have emperical evidence that this is causing a problem, you are trying to control something that does not need to be controlled. You may have multiple routing tables but all get merged together in the OS's IP stack forwarding table. That is how the IP forwarding

Asymmetric routing: Host A has more than one interface, say interfaces 1 and 2, and a packet is sent to a destination B via interface 1 and a response packet from B is received on interface 2 instead of interface 1, this is asymmetric routing. Extending this to the routing hosts in the network

I have run various flavors of Red Hat and Fedora on two IBM laptops, a T41, and a T43, without major problems. The two issues that used to cause me problems were the video chip and the nic. These two problems occured in older releases but have improved considerably with the latest releases.

From my experience the combination of an Intel CPU and chipset combined with an Nvidia videocard will usually yield the highest level of compatibility and performance. That's really interesting. Nvidia was a real PITA wrt to Linux device drivers a while ago; have they seen the light?

Thanks for the quick replies. The easy one is to make the OSAs part of a VSWITCH configuration, and give VM and the Linux guests each a single address in the VSWITCH, and let VSWITCH handle the failover for you. Ideally this is what I want to do. I think I recall (will check doc) that for this
