Hi, Load balancing outgoing traffic will not be a problem in any setup. But the biggest problems you will face is ssh sessions and websites like rapidshare. You will start the session with 1 ip address and suddenly the round robin rule will take your traffic out with another ip address. This will cause problems when communicating with an ssh server and servers like rapidshare which generate download tickets based on source ip address.
