FreeBSD permits this as well.  It is the responsibility of the routing
process to manage which specific route is installed in the kernel
forwarding table at any given time.  (FreeBSD's `routed' can do this
in some instances.)  FreeBSD does not directly support multiple static
routes to a given destination, since it has no knowledge which would
enable it to choose among them; again, a routing process can be used
to manage this.
