      Does anyone know how the load balancing algorithm deals with asymmetrical wan pipes?  I have a 5mb/500kb ADSL line on WAN1 and a 1.5MB/512kmb Cable modem line on WAN2.  Would the load balancer maximize each pipe?

      Cheers,
      Z

        Yes but it will share the connections evenly between the WANs. You should be able to add some simple weighting by entering the gateways multiple times to the pools. I think someone reported that this should work.
