[LARTC] Multipath routing + traffic separation problem.

[Nguyen Dinh Nam]

Your settings seem to be correct, I just don't know why you don't want
to balance http, https and ftp traffic between both connections? 

About the bug, I haven't used linux 2.4 for a long time, for 2.6, fwmark
is in hexa, so be careful with 10 vs. 0xa, you'd better use values less
than 0xa to avoid confusing.

Also make sure that no default route is added to your main table.
