Dual WAN – Routing question
-
Hey guys, and ladies..
I have a DUAL WAN setup, of course.. Built myself recently, using Pfsense – Loadbalancing (round-robin), and Failover. Keep in mind this Dual WAN setup is based off TWO Cable Connections. Two Cable Modems,.. both from the SAME ISP, but each having its own provision speed, so I get full speed off both modems. (So Failover is sort of a waste, because if one drops so will the other). Loadbalancing works great though.
To my question:
I know its possible.. I just am unsure exactly how to go about it:
How can I put in a rule, or routing table, or some such to Designate one specific website (or IP of that domain url) to use only ONE of the two WAN ip's. Basically where it won't flip flop back and forth between the two IP's constantly during my reading/posting on that website.
I want to do this because I believe it is causing 'session id' errors with the forum's software (PHPBB),.. and if I could lock it onto one IP while accessing that website it would be helpful. But, I don't want to disarm Dualwan for everything, just a specific website/forum.
This possible?
If so, would love your ideas on how to go about it.
Thanks,

Try using sticky session setting in the general setup, this keeps traffic on the connection first used.
