Triple Wan and Load Balancing/Failover
-
I was wondering if anyone could help me with my triple wan set up. I had my dual wan working fine, but when I add the third ISP I came across some new problems. So heres my setup.
Load balancing
Wan monitors 208.67.222.222
opt1 monitors 208.67.220.220
opt2 monitors 4.2.2.1
Failovers
Wan-> opt1
opt1-> opt2
opt2-> wan
So the problem i have is when I check my failovers. Load balancing seem to be working fine. If unplug just wan its shows it as offline and says opt1 and opt2 are online. If I unplug just opt1 it says opt1 and opt2 are offline and wan is online. If I unplug just opt2 everythings still comes up as online. I don't know why but it seems that opt2 is linked to opt1. Do I have somethign set up wrong? Any help would be awesome.Thanks

That is OpenDNS servers…???? Why??
-
That was just how I had it set up when had dual wan and it work. Is it better to have them monitor their gateway IP? I tried this and it didn't make a difference.

Dont you have 3 public IP adresses from your ISP??
-
I tried setting my load balancing to monitor their own IP address. this gave me 1 and 3 online while 2 was for some reason offline. now when i set it back to my original configuration, if i disable opt 1, it shows all three as offline. Is there anyone that has a triple wan system with loadbalacancing and fail over working? any help would be appriciated

Three? You lazy so and so, me got six WAN.
Really, this should be fine provided your connections have unique gateways. I would guess that having connections on private IPs or with dynamic addresses would complicate matters. -
So what problems would happen if the gateways are identical? How would i go about setting it up corretly?

You just need to pick a unique IP for each connection to monitor. I usually use something on the provider's side- other side of the T circuit, etc. If the gateways for two connections were the same, it would cause routing problems, as the firewall would not which interface to route the traffic out.
