I was aware of that when I wrote the rules.

My providers file is:

ISP1    1       1       -               $IF_ISP1        $IF_ISP1_GW     
track,balance=3,persistent
ISP2    2       2       -               $IF_ISP2        $IF_ISP2_GW     
track,balance=2,persistent
ISP3    3       3       -               $IF_ISP3        $IF_ISP3_GW     
track,balance=1,persistent
ISP4    4       4       -               $IF_ISP4        $IF_ISP4_GW     
track,balance=1,persistent


...and the *last* line of my mangle file is:

MARK(3):P       -       193.104.0.136

If by "statistical" you mean the marks produced by "balance" in the providers 
file then am I mistaken to think that the last mangle rule defined overwrites 
previous marks?

The TEST column in the mangle file?
Not quite sure which value to use for a MARK rule on the last line of that file.
