This was a fun one to try to dig up. It turns out that the LocalLB.RateClass's create method takes a base rate and not the ceiling rate. But, under the seams, it set's the base AND ceiling rate to what you pass in for the base rate parameter. Since the ceiling rate has a minimum value of 296bps, passing a zero in for the base rate will throw the exception.

 

 

The workaround is (if your base rate is less than 296bps), pass in the ceiling rate in the create method and then set the base rate after that to the lower value you desire (in your case 0).
