Clarify Line Bonding page

http://aaisp.net/kb-broadband-bonding.html

Under 'IP routing' (near bottom of page), sentence reads: "Secondary routes also control the allowed source IPs for uplink even when the primary lines are active."

Please could this be clarified? i.e. Is uplink traffic from Secondary IP blocks only allowed during failover? Or is uplink traffic allowed for all IP blocks that are ticked for Primary or Secondary or Tertiary? The latter would be nice, as it would mean Clueless tickboxes would control the downlink routing, whilst end-user routers would control the uplink routing.

As the latter - uplink traffic from IPs is allowed where there are tickboxes.
The lines being up or down doesn't have an affect on this. If you have 2 lines, and an IP block is set for Primary on Line 1, and Secondary on line 2, then you can upload traffic on any line, but we will only send traffic to you on line 1. However, if line 1 goes down, then we'll send you the traffic on line 2 instead. I'll update the page to clarify. Thank you for the feedback.
