      I wonder how to configure my load balancer to use all available bandwith for uploads and downloads.
      WAN1: 2500/512
      WAN2: 2000/256

        You can either:
        maximize download
        maximize upload.

        To maximize download:
        Add the gateway of the WAN1 5times and the gateway of WAN2 4times to the loadbalancer.
        Like this you have a ration of 2500:2000 (5:4)

        To maximize upload:
        Add the gateway of the WAN1 2times and the gateway of WAN2 1times to the loadbalancer.
        Like this you have a ration of 512:256 (2:1).

        You could also have both and define an IPrange which is optimized for upload and/or an IPrange which is optimized for download and you just change accordingly to what you currently need your IP on the client.
        (yes, ugly hack)
