We have a Checkpoint UTM-1 2050 appliance running r65

My issue is as follows:

2 external interfaces to different ISPs
5 external IPs per interface
Firewall takes one of each group leaving 4 free for static NAT

We have 5 machines that need to be statically NATed

so the main 4 are on the ext interface which is also the default gateway

The 5th is on the dmz interface which is marked as the backup line in isp redundancy

Now the 5th machine can receive traffic initiated from the internet.. But it can’t browse the web.

Basically, traffic coming into the firewall is routed correctly back out the correct interface but traffic initiated by the 5th machine is being routed out the default gateway with its NATed address of the other line and consequently is not able to be routed back.

I can add routes to the firewall for destination based routing only from what I can see.

How do I make traffic go out the correct interface if its initiated by a box that’s NATed on the 2nd line?

I have tried this with and without ISP redundancy and in both primary/ backup and load sharing modes of ISP redundancy
and nothing works.

Now I know I can dual home the box (add a 2nd internal ip to the box) and that would be a work around for the issue with one internal IP on each line... Which would be the solution if we wanted true isp redundancy but we really want to be able to take advantage of the extra addresses the second line gives us.

Any ideas
Is source address routing a hidden option on this box?

Thanks in advance,
Cory
