Use of load balancing option in Traffic shaping in MX

If we use load balancing then 

1.traffic will be flowed from both WAN link right?

Can we set any proportion?

 

2.If we have 2 WAN link at site1 & site2 respectively and we want auto VPN between both site and then how many auto-vpn tunnel we can have between site1 & site2 ?

as per me ,we have 2 tunnel i.e. WAN1--WAN1 & WAN2--WAN2

Please explain

Load balancing

When enabled, Load balancing spreads Internet traffic across both uplinks proportional to the Internet1 and Internet2 bandwidths specified above.

Example: If WAN 1's bandwidth is 9 Mbps and WAN 2's bandwidth is 1 Mbps, the load-balancing algorithm sends 90% of the traffic through the WAN 1 uplink and 10% of the traffic through the WAN 2 uplink.

take a look here:

assuming they are both hub, and you have vpn active-active you would have 4 tunnels.   

site1 - wan1 goes to to site2 WAN1 and WAN2

site1 - wan2 goes to to site2 WAN1 and WAN2
