PTX1000/10001 (Express) offers no real configurable options for load 
balancing the same way MX (Trio) does. This is what took us by surprise.

This is all we have on our PTX:

tinka at router# show forwarding-options
family inet6 {
     route-accounting;
}
load-balance-label-capability;

[edit]
tinka at router#
