I am trying to run RX/TX load balancing on a RedHat a 6.2 download server. The version of iproute is iproute-2.2.4-2. When I invoke the command "ip rule list", I get the error message: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Dump terminated My ifconfig output shows that everything is being processed by eth0. I even downloaded iproute2-current.tar.gz and ran a make, it did not seem to upgrade the /sbin/ip file. OR, I did not configure it correctly. My /etc/rc.d/rc.local file reads: ip rule add from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx table 30 ip rule add from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx table 31 ip rule add from xxx.xx.xxx.xxx table 32 ip route add xxx.xx.xxx.x/28 dev eth0 table 30 ip route add xxx.xx.xxx.x/28 dev eth1 table 31 ip route add xxx.xx.xxx.x/28 dev eth2 table 32 ip route add xxx.xx.xxx.x/28 equalize nexthop dev eth0 nexthop dev eth1 nexthop dev eth2 ip route add default via xxx.xx.xxx.x dev eth0 table 30 ip route add default via xxx.xx.xxx.x dev eth1 table 31 ip route add default via xxx.xx.xxx.x dev eth2 table 32 ip route add default equalize nexthop via xxx.xx.xxx.x dev eth0 nexthop via xxx.xx.xxx.x dev eth1 nexthop via xxx.xx.xxx.x dev eth2 My /etc/sysconfig/network file has the following: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=server.domainname.com DOMAINNAME=activision.com GATEWAY=xxx.xx.xxx.xxx GATEWAYDEV=eth0 CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=yes CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=yes CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=yes Can the load balancing I am attempting work on RedHat Linux 6.2?

Are you really sure they are the same? Did you run 'make oldconfig' on 2.4.12? Do your modules work?
