Loading Balance

[luizspies]

Hi everyone, i know it´s a well discuss subject.
I have a loading balance working pretty good
in my fedora core 3 in athlon64, i have my own scripts for networking
and it´s working on fedora 3, i use Julian´s anastov --> http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/.
I install the fedora core 4 on the same athlon64.
I download the latest version of kernel --> linux-2.6.15.4.tar.bz2
and i download the latest patch for Julian´s routes-2.6.14-12.diff The patch is known to work on Linux 2.6.14 - 2.6.15.
I follow this howto to make my network scripts and my iptables scripts http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt.
Like i said in my fedora core 3 work´s real good.
But in my fedora core 4 not working no matter the kernel i try to use.
This is my table 222

---------------------------
ip rule add prio 222 table 222
ip route add default table 222 proto static nexthop via 10.0.2.1 dev eth4 nexthop via 10.0.4.1 dev eth2 nexthop via 10.0.1.1 dev eth1
---------------------------

the error i get is my server always use the last nexthop --> 10.0.1.1, if i delete this the system use -->10.0.4.1, so the system always use the last entry in my table 222.

Anyone have any idea what´s the problem here?

Sorry about my poor english.

any help or ide will be great.

so anyone ha any other idea about it?!
Because i'm realy think about downgrade my fedora to core 3 because in this version my load balancing work.
Thank's

Well, i solve the problem.
With the kernel default of fedora it´s working.
iptables iproute2 come with fedora, only working full features with the original kernel of fedora.
thank´s to all.
