I assume this is about sharing two internet links so that outbound traffic flows to both of them. 1. visit services -> load balancer 2. delete any pools that are there that do not work 3. add a new pool and call it loadbalancetowans or something descriptive 4. set the description to load balancing from lan -> internet or something descriptive 5. set the type to gateway 6. in the monitor ip box, set a box upstream from this router that can be polled (via tcp socket) to ensure link is up What is this monitor ip? If I have two internet connections, which ip can I specify here? 7. in the ip box type in the 1st router gateway ip I assume this to be the gateway of first internet connection. 8. repeat for the second gateway Gateway of second internet connection and so on... raj --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
