What Bill said is correct. One additional comment, the above isn't true. Your load balancing is round robin, all connections in a pool are used equally. If the monitor IP for a specific gateway stops responding, that gateway is removed from the pool. If you use the same monitor IP for all connections, it won't work as when that monitor IP stops responding, the system will think you have no WANs available and remove them all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
