Just to make it clear - I'm not arguing. I like the solution, but I'm
not sure if it's going to solve the problem for the reasons below.

I'm sure they will show in the routing table as 7 different routes.
However, when CEF resolves adjacencies, there will still be only two
exits. While we may have the impression that we have 5:2 ratio by
looking into the RIB, are we _actually_ going to have it with the
traffic.

Without generating the traffic and measuring the output, I'm not quite
sure how to test this...
