[j-nsp] Re: M5 - outbound load balancing

[Harry Reynolds]

Can you do the show route again, but w/the detail or extensive switch?
The display should tell us something about why the other route is not
active. Note that multipath has no effect if, for example, MED is being
used to break a tie.

Cheers
