I read RFC 1122 section 3.3.1.* on default gateway selection. It implies that default routes are for failover, not for load-balancing. And linux follows this. As long as one of the default gateways is reachable, linux will send traffic to that one only. So, does anyone know of a way to get linux to load balance default routes? It would be best if the loadbalancing was sticky at layer 4, but not required.
