Load-balancing

[Gilberto Villani Brito]

Hi, thanks for help, but I read many thinks about fwd and anything works.
I would like know if I put:
# ipfw add fwd 200.x.x.2 ip from any to any
and trace route to somewhere, it is passed through GW1 (200.x.x.1) and not through GW2 (200.x.x.2).

This is the why I posted here.
