Mike,

I was refering for "hardware switched" traffic. In 6506 per-packet
load-balance is only supported for software switched traffic (not the
normal scenario for a 6506).

Check this:

"On the Catalyst 6000 series, the Cisco IOS Cisco Express Forwarding ip
load-sharing per-packet, ip cef accounting per-prefix, and ip cef
accounting non-recursive commands on the MSFC2 apply only to traffic
that is Cisco Express Forwarding-switched in software on the MSFC2."

I don't see why it wouldn't. If you're using and MSFC/MSFC2 you can use
CEF for load balancing or even just equal-cost path load balancing (I'm
using Native IOS but I'm sure that running IOS on an MSFC on a 65xx in
Hybrid mode would use these features are they're IOS based). I think
Brian's idea is a perfect idea that's both simple and effective.

Brian,

My understanding is that 6506 doesn't support per-packet load balance.

Meng,

        Why not just put two static default routes? With CEF you can
load balance between these routes on a per-packet or per-destination
basis.
