      Hello,

      I have dual-WAN configured with 2 ADSL lines, which aren't very fast.  When we have someone who needs to upload a large file, I create a rule to force that traffic on the WAN line that is used the least.  The rule works immediately, but I've found that the rule doesn't go into effect if the upload needs to start over.  I have to disable the rule and enable it again.  This has happened twice over the past couple of days. I don't see this in the bug list, so my guess is there is a configuration issue. Thoughts?

      Thanks in advance

        My best guess from that description is maybe the rule doesn't match on the subsequent attempt. Like if it's to a service that's distributed across multiple IPs and your rule only matches one or some of those. What's it using to upload?
