Load Balancing Question

[groenman]

Hello,

I have a setup of three connections… each interface has been setup with a static IP, gateway etc. I've setup a load balancing pool as per documentation and would like to clarify/know if I understand this correctly.

WAN - DSL1
OPT1 - DSL2
OPT2 - DSL3

I have the following under Services -> Load Balancer;

Name                Type                        Gateways                        Status                  Description
LoadBalanced gateway (balance)      opt1 & opt2                      Online                  DSL2 & DSL3 Load Balanced
DSL2ToDSL3        gateway (failover)      opt1 & opt2                      Online                  DSL2 Failover to DSL3
DSL3ToDSL2        gateway (failover)      opt2 & opt1                      Online                  DSL3 Failover to DSL2

If I for example, add one more failover pool, with only DSL1's configuration, does that mean that should DSL2 & DSL3 be down, DSL1 would take over? Or do I have this wrong? The config would look something like this;

DSL23ToDSL1        gateway (failover)      wan                      Online                  DSL2 & DSL3 Failover to DSL1

What I'd like to achieve is to have DSL2 & DSL3 load balanced with failover, but if both of them are down, have DSL1 route all traffic...

Hope I make sense with the above, any comments, suggestions and advise much appreciated!
