Package: iproute
Version: 20100224-1
Severity: normal

On a system with multiple NIC's to the same network, routing will lead to: (for 
example)
192.168.1.0/20 dev eth0 scope link
192.168.1.0/20 dev eth1 scope link

On Debian this correctly set up automatically using:
$ route add -net 192.168.1.0/20 dev eth0
$ route add -net 192.168.1.0/20 dev eth1

But, when using ip to do the same, it fails after the first route:
$ ip route add 192.168.1.0/20 dev eth0 scope link
$ ip route add 192.168.1.0/20 dev eth1 scope link
$ RTNETLINK answers: File exists

This will also be a problem when a system is multihomed in multiple
networks using the same ip adres ranges.
