LARTC - Nov 2003 - Two uplink provides with debian ( woody ) - problem to insert route in a table

Hello,

I''m trying to configure iproute2 with two providers in a Load balancing
configuration according "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control
HOWTO".

I''m working with two links:
- static ip (adsl link - 256Kbps)
- dynamic ip (512kbps).

In my HedHat 7.2 everything works well, but in my debian (woody) something wrong
is going on. First I have to create two tables, one for each provider.
That''s ok, but when I try to add an route to one of these tables, it
goes to main table.

# ip route add default via $P1 table T1
looks OK, but the route goes to table main

# ip route add default via $P2 table T2
NOK, because it goes to table main too, not to table T2.

Any clues???

Thanks in advance,

\
nexthop via 10.129.31.1 dev eth1 weight 1

It sounds stupid, I know, but it happened to me before: 

Do you have duplicate numeric ids in /etc/iproute2/rt_tables?

ciao,
