CISCO Load Balancing CEF

Hi,

I have a quick question on CEF.  Once I configure CEF on the 2 interfaces that will be going to out to the web, do I configure 2 last resort routes.  For Example:

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 1
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2 1

Thank you for your help in advance

Short answer: Yes. If you have two gateways to the Internet, you should configure two static routes.

Technically, CEF and last-resort routes doesn't really have anything to do with each other - You would have configured both static routes in any case, whether you used  CEF or not.

what would the benefit be, if I do not configure CEF.  Is there a better way to load balance between to ISPs?
