        Then try to search the forum.
        "multiwan" and "LoadBalancing" could help you. "routing group" will help you, too.

                        I am not familar with squid and load balancing on one machine.
                        Is LoadBalancing working if you use it WITHOUT squid installed ?
                        Without squid you do NOT need floating rules, just the LAN rule you added.
