Maybe you have some other reasons to make one gateway but to have
internal network you only need to set a second address from local
range (not colliding with that used by ISP) on each box.
But if you really need this together and with multipath, setting
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH = "y" and
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED = "n" (!) should change
multipath randomly.

The 2 ips on every box wouldnt work because: Most people here are complete network newbies, we want to connect more then 8 computers (most people have a laptop and pc), we would only have a 20mbit internal network.
Im a bit confused. In the 2.4 kernel there issent even an option ip_route_multipath_cached, only ip_route_multipath. Or am i mistaking here?
If there issent, then I couldnt have put it to 'Y' so why didnt the random function work?
In the 2.6 kernel there is a option ip_route_multipath and ip_route_multipath_cached. But if i dont say 'Y' to ip_route_multipatch_cached i cant say yes to round_robin, random_match etc. I thought i needed that option random_match set to 'y'. (im not sure if its exactly spelled like that, but i'm talking about the four or five sub options to ip_route_multipath_cached)
