Multiple gateways in TCP advanced settings

[GWINTO]

If you use multiple gateways in the advanced settings of TCP/IP, and all addresses are configured with the same metric are the gateways used on a round robin? If not how is it possible to load share across multiple gateways.

The reason I need to know this is because we are having multiple broadband connections installed for increased bandwidth and redundancy. The connection into the LAN is easy Modem/Router > switch > server.

Hi,

I'm not clear about your multiple gateway (LAN/WAN?) I assume is WAN. What server behind switch? If you running ISA, you can try add-on from

The multiple gateway is from LAN to WAN, the switch is used to save on multiple NICs (more than 2) in each server, the complete set up is:

4 ADSL modems
