Re: Internet Traffic load balancing

To make my argument further:

R2#sh ip cef 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 detail
0.0.0.0/0, epoch 0, per-destination sharing
  DefNet source: 0.0.0.0/0
  recursive via 169.254.1.1
    recursive via 10.0.0.1
      attached to GigabitEthernet0/0
  recursive via 169.254.1.2
    recursive via 10.0.0.1
      attached to GigabitEthernet0/0
  recursive via 169.254.1.3
    recursive via 10.0.0.1
      attached to GigabitEthernet0/0
  recursive via 169.254.1.4
    recursive via 10.0.0.1
      attached to GigabitEthernet0/0
  recursive via 169.254.1.5
    recursive via 10.0.0.1
      attached to GigabitEthernet0/0
  recursive via 169.254.2.1
    recursive via 20.0.0.2
      attached to GigabitEthernet0/1
  recursive via 169.254.2.2
    recursive via 20.0.0.2
      attached to GigabitEthernet0/1

As you can see, CEF resolves this in the manner I described.
