If you mean that you want WinGate to share the outbound traffic from your network 50 / 50 across two external connections, then yes this is possible in WinGate 6.

Each Service has the option (Under the Gateways tab) to set which upstream gateway it uses, and whether to send (for example) all WWW traffic out the dsl interface and all SMTP out the dialup interface, or rotate the outbound interfaces the WWW proxy uses so that traffic will be split across the dsl and dial up interfaces.

The only previso to this is that you cannot specify that one interface is used 70% of the time and another 30%. It's more connection rotation in that sense.

Regards
