Thankyou all for your comments.

I tried all your suggestions - tried
explorer-wait-time 30, gave equal weights to both the
Peers & gave 'dlsw load-balance circuit-weight' - No
Luck.

I even tried 2 different images on my R1 - 12.2-3.2 &
12.2-6. Now I am having doubts that if this scenario
works at all. It works right? Please tell me that it
worked for you - this way I can keep trying.

Thanks.
