>Description:
I am trying to achieve load balancing (Equal Cost Multiple Path) on NetBSD 3.1, 
but I am unable to install more than one route on the kernel for the same 
destination.

For Ex:

I have two active interfaces on my box having IP addresses 1.1.1.2/24 and 
30.0.0.3/24.

bash-3.2# route add -net 21.21.21.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.2
add net 21.21.21.0: gateway 1.1.1.2
bash-3.2#
bash-3.2#
bash-3.2# route add -net 21.21.21.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 30.0.0.3
writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 21.21.21.0: gateway 30.0.0.3: File exists
bash-3.2#

Does NetBSD 3.1 has support for Load balancing?
How can I configure Load Balancing on NetBSD in case it has this support?
