Has anyone tried using schedules to control load balancing across multiple WANs?

I have a site with 2 WANs, usually one of which is reserved exclusively for 
VoIP telephony, the other being for general net access. What I'd like to do is 
set up a schedule such that between hours when no-one's on-site both 
connections can be load balanced for general net traffic (mainly to speed up 
the offsite backups which are uploaded each night).

So, from, say 6am-midnight the gateway for the LAN default allow all rule would 
be WAN1. Between midnight and 6am the gateway would change to one I've created 
in the load balancer config: "Balanced".

Looking at the help for scheduler logic, I came across this:
"If you have a pass rule and the rule is outside of the schedule, the traffic 
will be BLOCKED regardless of pass rules that occur after this rule."

In light of this, it seems I couldn't simply create two default allow rules, 
one for day and one for night. How would one go about creating the necessary 
rules for this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Chris
