Terry, FreeBSD has no support for BGP. To get BGP support you install a 
router daemon. That inserts routes in the routing table in the kernel. The 
kernel will do all packet forwarding. The kernel has to support two or 
more routes to the same destination if you are going to do BGP (or OSPF) 
equal cost multipath.

I am sorry but ther is no way around it, if you have two links of equal 
cost and want to use both, you have to have support for that in the 
kernel.

There are situations where this is needed, and you do get good performance 
from it if you have many flows. One flow should always take the same 
path. 

(I will not say anything about the patch in queston as I have not read 
it)
