Hi everybody, I'm trying load balance the traffic on four ppp interfaces using iproute-2.4.7-9 but i'm always getting a "dead pervasive" error message on my third interface (see below.) I'm running redhat 9 with kernel 2.4.20-8. I read some messages posted on this mailing list and they said the problem can be fixed by getting the iproute source code, compiling it, and installing it. But i already did that and i'm still getting the same problem. Any suggestions or ideas???? Here is what i'm typing: ip route add default equalize \ nexthop via nexthop xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp0 weigth 1 \ nexthop via nexthop xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp1 weight 1 \ nexthop via nexthop xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp2 weight 1 \ nexthop via nexthop xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp3 weight 1 Here is what i'm getting: default equalize nexthop via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp0 weight 1 nexthop via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp1 weight 1 nexthop via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp2 weight 1 dead pervasive nexthop via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp3 weight 1 Thanx to all X
