      Anybody with multi-WAN and a 2.0 install can please test sticky connections and report the results?

      Thank you.

            I am in the process of trying to get a dual wan system up and running (having some issues at the moment!!), once i do i will check the sticky connections for you, i have a MS2003 PPTP VPN server behind PFsense+ISA so i will see if this works.

            Cheers

              I haven't managed to give it a proper test, but on my initial tests earlier it appears that the connections are a little too sticky. Once a system behind the NAT connects to the net via one or other of the ports, all traffic from that system after that initial request gets sent out of the same WAN connection.

              I will take another look at it on Monday, but it didn't seem right today.

              Cheers

                It actually looks right.
                That's the way sticky should work cause it uses source-track info. Unless you lower timeouts so that it expires early. If you hold of for the duration of a tcp/udp session timeout than it will go to the next round-robin state.

                Did sites like youtube function correctly?
