i have a question regarding static routing and ports. i have a 2621 router with two dsl lines going to two different dsl providers, and one line going into my network. using the "extendable" feature of nating, i'm able to use both dsl line together to load balance traffic. the problem i run into, however, is when i try to ftp. since the router is forwarding packets in a "per packet" fashion, ie one goes out dsl 1, the other dsl2, etc, etc...when i connect to an ftp server outside my network i often run into problems. i can connect to the ftp site, but usually the second command (such as dir) responds saying that there is no ftp connection. from what i gather, the problem lies in the fact that ftp sends out both tcp and udp packets, and since my router is forwarding on a per packet basis, they're going out different dsl lines and causing the problem.
how can i solve this? i was wondering if there is a way that i can set a static route, something like...ip static 0.0.0.0 :21 blah blah, where all of my port 21 (ftp) traffic goes out one dsl line. thanks.
