Dear Mr. Manish,
Now the multipath is working. Thank you for the support.
I am also facing the nexthop down problem & working on the suggestion, which
are already on the mailing list.

List members suggestion are required on following more quarries:
1. Most of my lan users usages Remote Desktop Connection to one of our 
server hosted outside India.
    Whenever ISP1 link goes down (I have down it  manually), their 
connection get lost.
    After approx 10 min, they are able to connect it again. Any pointer 
where I am wrong?

2. Out of 3 task (Load Balance, ISP Failover, Club Both ISP Bandwidth) Two 
task are complete. How can
    Club Bandwidth be implement on this box?

3. One Public IP device (VOIP) installed inside the LAN. I want to allow all 
traffic IN & OUT to this device.
    How to do this in this configuration? Currently there is no DMZ 
configuration in firewall.

Thank you,
Sandeep Agarwal
