Multipath / Multirouting


I am little confunsing now...

In /boot/config-(lastest debian kernel, 2.6.18-7) I have this following configs:

CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED=y
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_RR=m
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_RANDOM=m
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_WRANDOM=m
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_DRR=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MULTIPORT=m
CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH=m
CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH=m
CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_EMC=m

So, the "CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y" is not for multi route...but for multipath??? what is the difference between mutipath and multi route??

Thanks


PS: Another annoying thing: We can find in http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/377 a demo how to do multiple uplinks, but WHY can I not have it working, just like the page?

Thanks for any explanetion
