Default ISP Redundancy Explained???

For Outgoing traffic,
Does anyone know how the ISP Redundancy works at the background?
Gone thru the manual thoroughly, it did not mention a word what method for outgoing loadsharing used.
Is it a round-robin or Less-Round-trip-time amongst two ISPs?

For incoming, does it mean we have to point NameServer record of www.mycompany.com to our firewall gateway if we have configured the mini-DNS on the gateway for both ISPs and let the gateway to reply to those queries to www.mycompany.com?

thx
Nick

don't know how it exactly works, you can see your outgoing session switched between the two links in the log

there are two ways I know, you can point SOA to the both external interfaces of your gw, I've heard that works but I did it like cp recommends it, setup two dns serves behind the gw, primary zone or deligation, setup the dns proxy and address translation.
