8.8.3 Spillover
To load balance using the spillover method, select Spillover in the Load Balancing
Algorithm field.
Configure the Route Priority metrics in the WAN General screen to determine the primary
and secondary WANs. By default, WAN 1 is the primary WAN and WAN 2 is the secondary
WAN.

The following table describes the related fields in this screen.
WAN Interface
to Local Host
Mapping
Timeout
Select this option to have the ZyWALL send all of a local computer’s traffic through
the same WAN interface for the period of time that you specify (1 to 600 seconds).
This is useful when a redirect server forwards a local user’s request for a file and
informs the file server that a particular WAN IP address is requesting the file. If the
user’s subsequent sessions came from a different WAN IP address, the file server
would deny the request.
Interface This field displays the name of the WAN interface (WAN 1 and WAN 2).
Ratio Specify the weight for the interface. Enter 0 to set the ZyWALL not to send traffic load
to the interface. The higher the number, the bigger the weight (the more traffic sent).
