Good day dear list!

I'm looking for solution to balance internet traffic through several ISPs.

Almost every IPS load-balancing guide, including shorewall one's [1]
quotes this:
"Note that balancing will not be perfect, as it is route based, and
routes are cached. This means that routes to often-used sites will
always be over the same provider." [2]

Occasionally I've ran into RATEEST iptables module that seems to
actually balance the _load_ between several interfaces. But I have not
found anything regarding RATETEST support in Shorewall.

Does Shorewall supports RATEEST?

Thanks!
