      Hi

      I'm running RC2 and have followed the guide on how to setup MultiWan 1.2

      After defining the load balance pools and the 3 basic firewall rules I also added a protocol binding rule above the final load balancing rule but below the two DMZ access rules.

      WAN1 -> T1
      WAN2 -> Comcast Business cable
      LAN -> Local network

      The problem is that the protocol binding rule is not 'biting'.

      Here is the rule:

      Action                    PASS
      Disabled                  Unchecked
      Interface                LAN
      Protocol                  TCP
      Source: not            unchecked
      Source: type          LAN subnet
      Source: OS            Any
      Destination: not      unchecked
      Destination: type      Any
      Destination port range HTTP
      Log                        checked
      Gateway                  WAN2FailsToWAN1
      Description              Force Web over Comcast Cable

      I've applied this and checked the logs, but no matter what, this traffic is going over the WAN1 connection.
      The WAN2 connection is up and running, as if I change the Gateway to the WAN2 gateway in the above rule then the traffic will go over the WAN2 connection. But then if WAN2 goes down I have to go manually change the gateway for those protocol binding rules.
      The guide was using the WAN2FailsToWAN1 and I was hoping to be able to use that as well.

      What else can I check?

      Thanks

      BH

        What do you have on the Status>Load Balancer page?  Does that show the WAN2 connection to be up? If that is shown to be down (even though you can send traffic through it) then it means that the monitoring is done wrong.
