<![CDATA[Multi-wan: how to force one lan ip to avoid LB and use only a single wan?]]>Hi,

I have a multi-wan setup.  so my base IPv4 rule is directed to an LB gateway.  However,  I have a single computer on my lan that needs to not have it's connections load balanced.  I want to create rules to force it's traffic both in/out to be on wan1.

I already created a Lan rule at the top where source is a 'single host' set to the machines IP.  And I've set the gateway to wan1.

But I'm confused how to set the wan1 / wan2 rules to accomplish this?  Is this the right way to do this?

Thanks!

See enclosed screen shots, and the server is 10.0.1.240.

The gateways only fail in one direction, and I have outbound NAT defined too.

If you have connections coming inbound and port forwarded/1:1NAT to the host, you would control which WAN gets the traffic with DNS entries. (The connections go to the WAN whose address is in the A record.)
