Ohhh...you didn't go into your explanation very deeply but now I get it.
;-)

You're padding the route table with additional static defaults to tip the
weights since the router will balance the packets/flows over all valid
routes. This way we can pretty much get any ratio of balancing we want by
adding/subtracting routes over each outbound connection. I guess this goes
under the heading of "stupid router tricks"! ;-)

Thanks Sadiq for clearing up your post!

Guys,

Have a look at this link here below. If you can create static routes and
have as much recursion to be done proportionately distributed on one more
than the other according to the bandwidth you have on links, then this is
equal-cost load balancing, but proportional to your bandwidth (which results
ultimately to an unequal load balancing).
