I tested under rh4. My rh3 test died a terrible death.

The nahant list is pretty active:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/

We did have to upgrade code:
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/multipath-tools/

I tested last Fall and could not get this software to do load balancing. It worked well on one of the paths. I was probably testing code that is ancient history by now.

BTW, I did download the veritas filesystem (free test for linux last Fall) and tested that, and it worked perfectly. The price was alot different, however.
