Hi,

Load balancing outgoing traffic will not be a problem in any setup. But the biggest problems you will face is ssh sessions and websites like rapidshare. You will start the session with 1 ip address and suddenly the round robin rule will take your traffic out with another ip address. This will cause problems when communicating with an ssh server and servers like rapidshare which generate download tickets based on source ip address.

Yes, round-robin will do. My problem is how to do this, I have tried
the following kiind of approach:

pass out on $ext_if route-to { ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2
$ext_gw2) } round-robin proto tcp from $myown to any flags S/SA
modulate state

route-to tends to work better inbound on your internal interfaces.

pass in on $int_if route-to { ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2
$ext_gw2) } round-robin proto tcp from $myown to any flags S/SA
modulate state


However I can not, say, route-to $ext_gw2 traffic from $ext_ifi1's IP
address. I need to combine it with NAT, right?

How to do this is what I am confused.
