Are you referring to the fdb tables, I tried that some months ago but it didn't seem to work. Maybe its changed now. I will give it a shot. Any tips?

I remember seeing a patch floating around that added support for multiple default destinations in VXLAN unicast but I think some objections were raised and it's not made it through. At least it's not there in 4.1-rc7. That would be quite nice to have.

Oh, multiple default destinations - that would be very cool!

Right now I am using netlink to manage FDB entries, last time I tried iproute2 utility worked too...

The only tricky thing about doing it with netlink is that the FDB uses the same API as the ARP table. Specifically RRTM_NEWNEIGH/RTM_DELNEIGH/RTM_GETNEIGH, apart from that it's pretty simple though.
