PCC Mangle rules question (Load Balancing)

Hi folks, quick question, here are my mangle rules currently (still have them in notepad, haven't put them into the router yet;

add chain=input in-interface=ether1-WANA action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=ether1-WANA_conn
add chain=input in-interface=ether2-WANB action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=ether2-WANB_conn

add chain=output connection-mark=ether1-WANA_conn action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=to_ether1-WANA
add chain=output connection-mark=ether2-WANB_conn action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=to_ether2-WANB

add chain=prerouting dst-address=1.1.1.1/27 action=accept in-interface=ether3-LAN
add chain=prerouting dst-address=2.2.2.2/29 action=accept in-interface=ether3-LAN

add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!ether3-LAN in-interface=ether3-LAN per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:2/0 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=ether1-WANA_conn passthrough=yes
add chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!ether3-LAN in-interface=ether3-LAN per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:2/1 action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=ether2-WANB_conn passthrough=yes

add chain=prerouting connection-mark=ether1-WANA_conn in-interface=ether3-LAN action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=to_ether1-WANA
add chain=prerouting connection-mark=ether2-WANB_conn in-interface=ether3-LAN action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=to_ether2-WANB

I have 20 Vlans attached to ether3-LAN, do I need to make a mangle rule for every Vlan or is the ether3-LAN rules above sufficient?

I would be very interested to know this as well (eventhough the question is more than 3 years old now).

It seems i would have to define the mangle rules for every vlan that is defined and not only for the ethernet interface these vlan's are connected to.

Can somebody please confirm this?

You can use an Interface List. Add all of your LANs and VLANs to an interface list, then create one set of rules.

If it helps, this is my config. I have two cable modems, both with dynamic IP's. The script will update the routes when a WAN IP changes.

/ip route
add comment=wan0 distance=50 gateway=x.x.x.x routing-mark=to_WAN0
add comment=wan1 distance=50 gateway=x.x.x.x routing-mark=to_WAN1

/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=wan0
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=wan1

/ip firewall mangle

add action=mark-connection chain=prerouting dst-address-type=!local in-interface-list=lanLinks new-connection-mark=WAN0_conn passthrough=yes per-connection-classifier=both-addresses-and-ports:2/0
