Dual Gateways AND Web Proxy??

RouterOS General
1

Hi,
I’ve got a MT Box with 3 Ethernet NIC’s installed. One for my Private LAN, and 2 attached to different ADSL Gateways.
My objective is to use both ADSL Gateways for load balanced Web Browsing - via the Transparent Proxy Cache. This way, users get the double advantage of caching AND Dual Broadband speeds.

I can get Dual Gateways working using Routing Rules OK
I can get the Transparent Proxy working with 1 Gateway OK
I’m completely stuck on getting the Proxy itself to use 2 Gateways.
Would anybody care to enlighten me on the method of achieving this?
Gotta be good when it works, eh?

I did this experimentally, but what I did was this:

Mark the TCP Port 80 traffic flow as “Web” in Mangle rules
Setup a policy route in IP Route as follows:
Create a table called “WebProxy”
Add to it 0.0.0.0/0 gateway=gateway_1, gateway_2

Under Rules, create 2 rules (one for each of your DSL modems)
add src-address=DSL_IP_1 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 flow=web action=lookup table=webproxy
add src-address=DSL_IP_2 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 flow=web action=lookup table=webproxy

This will “load balance” the 2 ADSL modems..
