You can add a second route and weight it as follows: ip route add equalize 192.168.2.0/24 scope global nexthop via 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 192.168.0.250 dev eth0 weight 1 This assumes that: both gateways are connected to eth0 on your linux box You want equal traffic weight down each gateway to the remote network....
