This 'MSN' is a web site? Im guessing it 'refresh'es every 5 minutes or
so.
They are proably testing cookies against the ip address they appear to be
comming from. This is horribly wreckless of them if they arnt offering
IPv6. Are they? They only way i have to remedy this problem is to get
their IP range and bind it to the most stable connexion you have,
defeating the load-balancing, almost, sorta, oh well...
You can TRY sending to MSN up either pipe but using the same src address
in both cases. some ISPs are really mean/useless and wont let you send
from you own addresses if you dont lease them from the ISP. boo. this will
ofcourse still bring the content all down one pipe still... upstream load
balancing restored, downstream still skewed....
OR break the clients into two groups, those using pipe1 by default, those
using pipe2 by default when talking to MSN. As long as both connextions
stay up no one complains, if one goes down, half of them complain 'i got
logged off'.
Im sure you can rig a proxy on each upstream feed that conducts the signin
process for them everytime. so much work...
oh well best of luck.

Subject: MSN keeps disconnecting with load balancing
Hi,
I have the my gateway with load balancing traffic going out over two
providers. Web browsing is fine...working great.
But, my clients (office staff) complains that MSN keeps disconnecting (in 5
mins). Why?
Please help me...
Regards,
ro0ot
