I struggled on this for a few months and I finally throw away the
"multiple weight" default route method. FWMARK/CONNMARK
is the way to go. More information, read this

You may not want to use it for whatever reason you think
appropriate but please read the 'Introduction' where I
explained how I failed badly using that method.

Subject: load balanced adsl lines

Hi Ppl
 
I have 5 adsl lines that after reading quite a bit i managed to get load balanced now abvoiusly it doesnt load balance evenly and this works on what routes are still in the routing cache. my question is my outbound masquerading had to be modified to use snat in iptables instead of just plain masquerading my outbound masquerading now works but my inbound port forwarding doesnt work would this be an iptables problem or a routing issue...
 
i have opened all the relavent ports on each of the interfaces and I am not getting any logged denies the connection just never opens
 
I am running the following
 
debian woody
 
kernel 2.6.6
