[c-nsp] ip load-sharing per-packet and RPF

I believe the inbound is identical. This setup was done before my time
(I've only been here for a few months). They statically point the routes
to their serial for me. I'm told that the T1's are on the same router on
their side, and based on the way they addressed the IPs for them
(sequential /30s) it appears so.

Inbound and outbound traffic stats are identical.

I guess that I didn't ask the question right, what I wanted to know is,
can the two commands work together, and if so is this a routing issue.

I agree that on the surface it could be an asymmetric routing issue, but
I had that that this type of configuration was suppose to overcome that.

Yep, you have full control for outbound traffic, how about inbound?

the inbound traffic could be from any of them right?
