Per packet load balancing -- 2nd try

Hi, all

I will try to ask this questions again and hope some
get some expert advice on this topic.

What I have is the following, all boxes have IP2. I
have per-packet load balancing configured.

        ----
    M40 ---- M20 (advertising 1.0.0.0/24
        ---- 1.0.1.0/24
        ---- 1.0.2.0/24
                               1.0.3.0/24)

4 paths between M40 and M20 are equal cost. M20 is
advertising 4 destinations via OSPF to M40. What I've
seen on M40's routing table is:

1.0.0.0/24 via path 1
           via path 2
           via path 3
>via path 4

1.0.0.0/24 via path 1
           via path 2
           via path 3
>via path 4

1.0.0.0/24 via path 1
           via path 2
>via path 3
           via path 4

1.0.0.0/24 via path 1
           via path 2
>via path 3
           via path 4

So, how is the next-hop selected? randomly? In this
case, why are the other 2 paths not being utilized?
I turned on trace options for OSPF, but couldn't
really extract the info I need.

TIA for any pointers.
