	Nice solution. Thanks.

	But now I see that I won't use multipath, since I couldn't find
a way to force a specific route to be default all times, except when
it's dead. For example if route 1 has weight "256" and route 2 has
weight "128", route 1 will be used more, but it doesn't prevent route 2
from be used. They both will have a flow ratio of 2:1, right?

	I'd like that route 1 will be used all the time, except
when itÅ dead. In other words, route 2 will be used *only* when route 1
is dead.

	Thank you.
