      Ladies and gents,

      I am using an IPSec tunnel to forward web traffic to a remote server on one of my local VLAN's. That isnt my issue, cause it works flawlessly. However, i also have a dual wan setup, and load balance between them. It seems that none of my LAN rules are responding to the gateway's i set regardless of what i do. I've boiled it down to the Local/Remote 0.0.0.0/0 net set in the IPSec tunnel to foward the traffic on the. I can choose between either WAN for the IPSec tunnel and it will use it. Also, if i specifically change the default gateway, my local traffic will then re route to that said gateway.

      Is there a specific static route or something i can do to re-gain functionality of both of my WAN's?

      IPSec settings:

      Near side
      Local subnet - VLANx NET
      Remote subnet - 0.0.0.0/0

      Far side
      Local subnet - 0.0.0.0/0
      Remote subnet - (my VLANx net)
      *NAT RULE for VLANx net to translate to the wan interface

      anyhow, im pretty sure any type of 0.0.0.0/0 route is going to throw things bonkers as far as load balancing and failover goes. my question is, what can i do to achieve both of these things at the same time.
