Hi,

        I recently incorporated multipath support into -CURRENT,
        for the upcoming 8.0.  This patch originated from the KAME
        project and builds on the existing routing data structures
        and infrastructure. As a result I did not have to
        modify the userland programs, however, I think netstat
        can use some tweaking in its output. 

        I am in the process of incorporating additional functionalities
        such as allowing for preference setting, and performing active 
        health-check on the gateways and updating the routes
accordingly.

        Hmm... in the current code if_unroute() would remove
        the interface route when the interface is down.
