Hello people:
	I'm new in the forum. I've implemented the script for load balancing of
"Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HowTo" and I've a
question:
When I run the next command : "ip route" I get the folowing
information:

--------------
192.168.0.32/27 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.33
192.168.0.96/27 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.97
192.168.0.64/27 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.65
192.168.0.128/27 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.129
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default
	nexthop via 192.168.0.126 dev eth2 weight 1 dead onlink
	nexthop via 192.168.0.61 dev eth0 weight 1
-----------------------------

Is normal the part of "dead onlink" ?
Is it balancing the load between both internet providers?

Sorry for my English. I'm from Argentine.

Thanks in advance.

 This message is always there but the 192.168.0.126 gateway is online.
 Do I need the Julian's dead gateway detection patch?.

 Thanks in advance.

	No, you need the latest 'ip' utility from iproute2:

ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss020116-try.tar.gz
