# ip addr show dev eth1

# ip ro

default via 192.168.20.254 dev eth1

# ip ro flush cache
# ip ro get 192.168.20.110
192.168.20.110 dev eth1  src 192.168.20.108 
    cache  mtu 1500 advmss 1460 hoplimit 64
# ip ro get 192.168.20.110 from 192.168.20.67
192.168.20.110 from 192.168.20.67 dev eth1

# ip ro list cache

192.168.20.110 from 192.168.20.67 dev eth1 
    cache  mtu 1500 advmss 1460 hoplimit 64

You can see two different routes in cache to reach 192.168.20.110,
one from "0.0.0.0" (we force src 192.168.20.108),
one from 192.168.20.67 

With different keys (src addr, tos, fwmark, ...) we can have a lot of
different routes for apparently same destination
