Question:  Does Watchdog work with load-balancing?

Watchdog should be able to function fine in a load-balanced scenario, but please note the following:

Watchdog does not direct a request to a particular R3000; it sends the request to the Internet, just as a user would do. When the request gets blocked by an R3000, Watchdog records which R3000 it was, and sets this R3000's
blocking status as "good," while all other R3000s in the pool get flagged as a question mark ("?").

If the requests that Watchdog generates never gets load-balanced to a specific R3000, that R3000 will always show a question mark ("?"), but chances are that a request will eventually hit each box.  As long as you don't see
a red "failed" status, the filtering environment is still functional
