Nice solution. Thanks. But now I see that I won't use multipath, since I couldn't find a way to force a specific route to be default all times, except when it's dead. For example if route 1 has weight "256" and route 2 has weight "128", route 1 will be used more, but it doesn't prevent route 2 from be used. They both will have a flow ratio of 2:1, right? I'd like that route 1 will be used all the time, except when itś dead. In other words, route 2 will be used *only* when route 1 is dead.
