I never gave it a try on linux (on winxp it seems to work): 'metric' is for
that purpose.
See 'route -n' and/or 'man route'.
The man page says:
Metric The 'distance' to the target (usually counted in hops). It is
not used by recent kernels, but may be needed by routing dae-
mons.
sorry, not a solutuion. more like a hint.
