      Is it possible for the outbound WAN to be selected based on the destination port?
      We have a dual wan setup configured for failover.  Our default wan is very fast but is a dynamic IP and making it static would be very expensive.  Our failover wan is not as fast but is a static IP.
      The reason behind this is many of our clients whose equipment we log into remotely have their firewalls restricted to our public IP.

        use the rules in the LAN tab to direct certain traffic to the correct gateway ….

        you could then for example send all traffic with destination port 22 out gateway1 and all other traffic out by the failover pool
