15.3. Load Balancing¶
You can find the Load Balancing at Routing → Routes in the tab Load Balancing.
Load Balancing allows you to use multiple routing tables at the same time. This might be necessary to load balance over multiple Gateways.
Name so you can identify it.
Description is a description of the Load Balancing.
Policy can be either Random, IP Source Address or IP Source Address + IP Destination Address. It is Random by default. The policy decides on how each state is pinned to one Routing Table. A decision is made on state creation and the chosen Routing Table will stay the same for a connection for its lifetime. Be aware that this can lead to problems with servers that require multiple open connections, as the source IP might not be the same for all connections when load balanced.
Multiple Routing Tables can be added with a Priority of 1 to 99.
