5, it will result in the following distribution: R1: 50 / (50+25+25) = .50 (50%) R2: 25 / (50+25+25) = .25 (25%) R3: 25 / (50+25+25) = .25 (25%) If you're going to use weighted load balancing, I recommend keeping your values as simple as possible. As we'll see, these values can be altered with object tracking, SO keeping them simple is in your best interest. As you can see, the configuration is very similar to HSRP. It's a little different when looking at the active interfaces though.
