Balancing 5 WANS so one is primary

[jcaira]

I have one leased line which is fast up and down and four slow ADSL lines. I want to use the leased line as the primary WAN and only use the ADSL lines if the leased line is down.

The only way I can think of is setting the leased line weight to 100 and the ADSL weights to 1.
I know some traffic might go to the ADSL lines but I can live with that.

Would this work? Is there a better way of doing it?

Cheers
Jon

Close. 100 weight to the lease line and zero to the others in WAN Balancer.

OK sweet.

OK - I have just upgraded to 11.2 and wanted to make this exact change but...
The UI does not allow 0 - or rather the connection to the server is lost and/or the field is defaulting to 50 (%)

How do you set it to zero?

doh, thats an 11.2 issue.
It thinks 0 means null and so it displays the default value of 50.
This will be fixed in the next build.
In the meantime, it does actually save as 0, it just displays wrong so I would ignore it.
