I tried that way, and routing works _only for local connections_. It
doesn't work for NAT connections. So, the result is the same, as the
configuration I was trying is the same, which is set in the script you
gave. :)

I have not applied the patch in the configuration I'm trying to get
working :) So, by now, I don't use that patch. I explain howI think
the multipath routing + NAT doesn't work, in a mail I just sent. :)
But as there I explained how I understand that nothing may work
without patches (in the mail sent to the list, before this one), I'll
start trying with the patches applied. I applied them to a vanilla
kernel by:
cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < the_patch.diff

This results in changing some files, as expected. So the patching
should be well done.

Thanks!
