      Hi everyone,

      First of all I'm a newbe to opensource and Pfsense, and after a hard days night have got a dual wan PFsense with loadbalancing and failover working nicely. My problem is that the loadbalancer seems to want to loadshare evenly between a 512kb WAN and a 128kb WAN, which results in a slower allover perfomance.

      Can anyone tell me how to do ratio load balancing in pfsense? Or do i HAVE to have 2 identical WAN connections?

      appreciate all input/suggestions
      ???

        Put the 512K link in 4 times and the 128K link in once and it'll use the 512K link 4 times as much. Hack, but works.

          Hello cmb. So, you mean to set a load balancing pool with 4 entries in the pool for the 512K link and 1 entry in the pool for the 128K link? Am I correct or I misunderstood your statement?

            This is correct.
