Ok, I'll dig into this tip, and see how it goes. 
If I can't figure out this NAT problem, I'll do this.

Yes, I am running your patch. Kernel is 2.2.22 with routes-2.2.20-7.diff
patch applied. (I'm sure of this, otherwise dead gateway detection will
simply not work.) 

My question is, if we ensure that EVERY packets, whatever path they use
to arrive, finally pass through a single peer doing NAT, is this suppose
to work around my TOS problem ?

Eg, end services will only see packets coming from the last NAT address,
which is single whatever path packets used to arrive.

Something like:

LAN --> Multipath Firewall
	  |		|
	 GW1		GW2
	  |		|
	-------------------
		|
	      Gateway
	       (NAT)
		|
	    --------- Remote Network


What about the rp_filter kernel value ? Could it be a problem in such
setup ?

Thanks again.
Vincent.
