Yes. i used 2.4.19pre-10 kernel.
This behaviour affects only ppp-devices (never tried ippp but i guess it's
the same)

i also wondered, why failover doesn't work when using different
route-entries for each nexthop...

another confusing thing: using "nexthop via dev ppp0" in a table made me
think that i don't need a gateway address at all... but unfortunatly
that's no the case :(seems that ip searches the gateway address itself so
that after appp-reconnect (where i get another gateway address) the table-entries
aren't valid anymore.

Thanks

Tobias
