Hello,
does anybody know of a way to round-robin over multiple default gateways with
the same metric? Currently, it looks like it's always the first GW which is
taken.

Hi,
this not round robin but the traffic is spread over more GW's
config IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH
bool "IP: equal cost multipath"
depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
help
Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
if a matching packet arrives.
