    I would like to know whether it is possible to define two direct routes
    from a machine with two interfaces to a single other machine :

        Machine src Machine dst
          eth0 _____
                    \____
                     ____| dst0
          eth1 _____/

    I tried bonding, coupling eth0 and eth1 in a master bond0. It worked fine
    but it is not what I want to do since the traffic is shared between the
    two slaves.

    I tried a slightly different configuration : the destination having also
    to interfaces dst0 and dst1. With iproute2 I successfully set up two
    parallel routes eth0-dst0 and eth0-dst1. But again, it is not what I want.

    Finally, using 'ip route add,change, ...' I've tried to configure my
    system in order to have the traffic going directly from eth0 to dst0
    *or* (exclusive) from eth1 to dst0. But 'ip route' has not accepted my
    requests.

    Is it a forbidden configuration ?
