      Is there a way to load balance the traffic 60% on one WAN, then 40% on the other? I did a beta on a few VM's but I never saw an option to change the weight of each connection. The way I am reading the guide is that if I setup the group, with the two WAN connections on tier 1, then it would be like splitting them 50/50. Or have I completely missed something?

        If both lines are on the same Tier ( Tier 1 for example) then there is 50-50 LoadBalancing.

        If you go to "SYSTEM -> Routing -> Gateways" and edit you gateway then there is an option "Weight".

        With this you can adjust it from 50-50 to for 60-40 if you are using weight3 on GW with 60% and weight2 on GW with 40%.

        LoadBalancing is RoundRobin, so if there are 10 connectiongs six will go over the one GW and 4 over the other GW.
