But is your test environment using one gateway with two routes? no. I have two Gateways for my firewall.I put the routes in the table with line below: ip route add default scope global equalize nexthop via 201.72.12.17 weight 2 nexthop via 200.247.209.6 weight 1 sometimes data flow outs on gateway 201.72.12.17 and sometimes outs on 200.247.209.6 the two links are of the same ISP. thank.
