Unless this has changed very, very recently (and I would love to hear it),
there is no outbound load balancing for multiple RED uplinks. There is
automated failover, but no load balancing.
It's a feature request I have been begging for, and would really round-out the
uplink features substantially.

By my understanding of the text the load balancing is for balancing lan
connectivity to the internet ie u have 2 adsl lines and want to spread
the load of interested access across the two lines. to load balance
between to http servers or any other for that matter would require dns
load balancing or one incoming line connecting to a load balancing
server in front of the servers. I'm open to correction but thats the
short story ..
