Load Balancing
Thanks,
I didn't have the Kernel Development installed so installed it and then I could compile the latest iproute. With this version of iproute the ip route list command has lost the dead onlink pervasive message and it all looks ok. I will have to test further but it's looking good.
Cheers,
Allan

I am trying to test the load balancing on a test machine with 2 external 2Mb Internet links and it doesn't appear to be working. I am using RedHat 8.0 and get this message when doing ip route list:
default equalize
nexthop via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev eth1 weight 1 dead onlink pervasive nexthop via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev eth0 weight 1 onlink

I have read a similar problem from this list and it appears that the RedHat RPM of iproute2 (iproute-2.4.7-5) is broken and this was resolved by installing a newer version of iproute.
As I am very new to some aspects of Linux could someone inform me of how to compile and install iproute as it asks for you to change the
KERNEL_INCLUDEdirectory in theMakefileand I have no idea where the Kernel include directory is. I can't get it to make.
KERNEL_INCLUDE=/usr/src/linux
Even RH symlinks /usr/src/linux to the appropriate version of kernel installed. Make sure that you have installed the kernel development RPM as that has the actual include files. Not installed by default unless you installed the Developer workstation.

I have downloaded and installed iproute-2.4.7-7.rpm but this also has the same problems.
Cheers
