Multipath support for FreeBSD

Hello,

Is there any patch to a kernel level multipath solution for FreeBSD 6 out there? Or does anyone think in implement that in a near future?
So far as I know, there is an old patch for FreeBSD 4.8 ... for FreeBSD 6 I can simulate a multipath with ipfw prob or with pf load-balancing, but its not exactly what Im looking for.

OpenBSD 4.0 has now support for equal-cost multipath by default, but I needed an unequal-cost multipath solution, like linux can do (iproute2 weight based multipath).

Any help/clues for a FreeBSD solution?

Thanks.
