I honestly don't know if/when they will "fix it". Really it's a "Feature Request", not a bug.
The developers must be very busy, as Peter (amongst others, I think) is typically pretty responsive and participates in the mailing-list. He would probably be able to give you the best response as to where it is, and when we should fully expect it.
Best of luck.

that is truly dissapointing to hear. are they planning on fixing it? and why do the graphs show traffic? still curious about my other questions about failover not working automatically

It's listed as an explicit feature of the appliances and the production software, but not in the community edition. I would love to hear differently, but last time I asked, I got a reply from one of the developers and they said it was NOT there.
Will this release support multiple WAN/RED interfaces -- with each using
DHCP -- for load balancing and/or failover???
Yes, multiple uplinks are possible, in failover mode and/or up at the
same time. Load balancing is not possible due to a problem with the
current kernel.

as far I know the new 2.2 version includes load balancing. When i tested it I could see in vmware traffic going through all interfaces and the graphs reflected traffic going through all int's as well.
AJ Weber wrote:
Unless this has changed very, very recently (and I would love to hear it), there is no outbound load balancing for multiple RED uplinks. There is automated failover, but no load balancing.
It's a feature request I have been begging for, and would really round-out the uplink features substantially.

Hi, I intend to try and install Endian Firewall 2.2 but I need help
understanding the load balancing feature as there is really not much
info about it (or I probably just don't understand what I am reading
in the
documentation :P ).
Anyway, assuming that I have 2 webservers, both running the same
sites, with different internal IP addresses (kind of a redundant
setup), can the Endian Firewall load balance the external traffic
going to the webservers?
Webserver 1 : Listening on IP 10.1.1.2 <http://10.1.1.2/> port 80
Webserver 2 : Listening on IP 10.1.1.3 <http://10.1.1.3/> port 80
Basically, what I am asking is whether using Endian Firewall 2.2 load
balancing feature eliminate me from having 2 separate dedicated
high-availability load-balancers (Heartbeat/HAProxy) behind the firewall.
Thanks and hope someone can enlighten me.

By my understanding of the text the load balancing is for balancing lan
connectivity to the internet ie u have 2 adsl lines and want to spread
the load of interested access across the two lines. to load balance
between to http servers or any other for that matter would require dns
load balancing or one incoming line connecting to a load balancing
server in front of the servers. I'm open to correction but thats the
short story ..
