LARTC - Aug 2002 - Problem with nexthop and gets dead

Hello,

We have debian with 2.4.19-pre8 kernel
We active the load balancing with two ethernets to internet, wih the
command:

        ip rule add from 128.1.3.1/32 lookup host_proxy preference 2060
        ip route add default table host_proxy proto static nexthop via
80.25.175.1 dev eth0 \
                                                    nexthop via
212.170.14.1 dev eth1

when see the route with ip route list table host_proxy, gets :

default  proto static
        nexthop via 80.25.175.1  dev eth0 weight 1 dead
        nexthop via 212.170.14.1  dev eth1 weight 1

at the end the load balancing doesnt work, the ping to 80.25.175.1 and
212.170.14.1 works !!!!

Have any idea? Why said dead if the ip's responds to the ping !!!!

Thanks in advance

	You have to upgrade to iproute2 package released this year.
