LARTC - Oct 2005 - Question on Routing Tables

Hi,
 I am using Fedora Core 3 kernel 2.6.9.The max limit on routing tables is
 255(5 of them are reserved ,0,1,253,254,255 ).I am using iproute2 utility
 for managing routes.I want to increase the max limit of routing tables to
 1000(min.).Is there some solution for it? Or some patch available? Or it
 cannot be achieved.
 
 thanks in advance for your response.
 Regards,
 Hari
