You may find it in RHN or you may have a look at the binary compatible CentOS 4 (this may void your vendor support).

Hi,

The package you sent me is 64 bits, should be 32 because the linux i heve installed is for 32bits.

waiting for your prompt response.

Thanks.

A certain old TV series/movie character might have said at this point: "Dammit FOBF, we are sysadmins, not mind readers!"

You might also want to remember two common identifiers in Linux world:

x86_64 = 64-bit version for PC hardware
i386 (or ix86) = 32-bit version for PC hardware

So, by replacing "x86_64" with "i386" in the URL of the 64-bit version will usually give you the respective 32-bit version.

http://vault.centos.org/4.5/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-21.RHEL4.i386.rpm

And if you have a 32-bit RHEL 4.5 installation media available to you, you should find the genuine RedHat device-mapper-multipath-*.i386.rpm on it too.
