      Hi there,
      I haven't used balancing yet, but I was wondering if one was balancing between two or more internet lines, is it possible to choose an unequal balance ratio, instead of a 50/50.  For example, if I want most of the web requests to go out one line, and only one third to another line, is this possible?

        Add the different WANs as often as you want the ratio.

        WAN1: 3 times in the list
        WAN2: 7 times in the list

        will lead to a 3:7 ratio.

        We do what we must, because we can.

              in the load balancing pool, add more instance of the WAN1 or WAN2 to equal the ratio you want.

              The pool should be like this:

              WAN1
              WAN2

              Now that should be 50/50

              To get 75/25 ratio you do this to the pool:

              WAN1
              WAN1
              WAN1
              WAN2

              That all
