In the previous mail i wrote that i'm not using patches from http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/ but actually i
am. I was doing various experiments and finally 
ended with the patched kernel. But forgotten it ;) And this configuartion worked fine: kernel with patches from
http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/ and with CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED=n.
Kernel without these patches also works but not so good. Do not work or work bad:
ftp, https, online communicators.
I've not tested it too much but if it is true than i know now what these patches do. The route is not changed too fast so given connection to the remote serwer is always with the same route (isp, dsl, interface - so with the same source address). This is especially needed if login is required.
