ISPs?

[Michael DeMan (OA)]

Yes,

We use FreeBSD + Quagga.

Looks like ECMP will finally be in FreeBSD 8, which is a huge issue for 
us, unless anybody else has a workaround for:

Basically, say we have two paths to a given subnet.  If a router 
directly connected to that subnet does not have the interface configured 
yet, but the router already has a route to that subnet via OSPF (say 
hopping through a few other routers) then we can not add the directly 
connected interface.
