      I have 4 DSL connections that the loadbalancer utilizes, however I need all POP3/SMTP connections to go through a specific connection. Is there anyway to do this?

        Create a rule on top of your balancing rules for protocol tcp, source any, destination any, port <25, 110> gateway <desired gateway="">. You can use a portsalias for the mailports 25 and 110.</desired>

              Rules are always applied incoming at an interface, so if your smttp/pop3 clients sit at lan this rule has to go to firewall>rules, lan tab at the top of the list.
