I am not entirely sure that this will meet your requirements, but you may be able to simply use a gateway pool with your two ISP links as pool members, with a ratio of 3:2. Then turn on SNAT automap on your 0.0.0.0 virtual server so the LTM will tag the traffic with the appropriate IP space for the respective links.

 

 

An even simpler solution may be to create your gateway pool with the appropriate ratios, then use this pool as your default route (see SOL7215).

 

 

Hope this helps.
