        You need to add the third gateway to a pool.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          To expand on the previous answer, you really want pools/groups that looks like:

          wan1 fails to wan2 fails to wan3

          All in the same pool/group.

              You don't really need multiple failover pools.
              A single
              wan1 fails to wan2 fails to wan3
              should be enough.
              (Of course the WANs should be in the order in which you want them to failover).
