Universal Forwarder to different index server ports

Hi,

Is there any advantage to setup up Universal Forwarder to communicate different ports with index servers with load balancing instead all go to port 9997?

[tcpout]

autoLB = true

autoLBFrequency = 10

compressed = false

defaultGroup = AA

[tcpout:AA]

server = a1-abc.com:9995,b1.abc.com:9996,c1.abc.com:9997

I'm think that each TCP session will have its own send/receive buffers. My real question is will they communicate concurrently in the load balancing mode?

None at all that I can think of. Did you have an idea yourself, since you asked?
