Really ? this is not what I understood from the user guide - as I
understand it, allowed SMSC is used for access control, while prefered
SMSC is used for routing priorities.
But ok - I agree that using prefered SMSC is a much better keyword to
use if load balancing is required.

That's was what I'm trying to get - a clear idea of the load balancing
algortihm. from my test it looks like randomal, which is (IMHO) not a
good idea for a small number of SMSCs (is there a kannel setup in use
somewhere with a large number of SMSCs ?).
