Hi folks
I've run into an issue that has me somewhat confused. Our multiwan
router is up and "working". This is 2.1 release. I've got 2 ports to
two different network providers (different technologies at that).
Following the directions (
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN_2.0), I
1) set up a Gateway group called MultiWANGW which has both gateways.
Both were originally set as tier 1. More on this in a moment.
2) set up outbound LAN->any mapping to use the MultiWANGW in the Gateway
of the LAN rule governing outbound traffic.
3) I have two distinct DNS servers set up per gateway under
Systems->General.
I've verified that gateway monitor reports them working. Actually
everything appears to be working ... except ...
One or two sites (Ariba http://www.ariba.com and a few others) seem to
have some significant problems if I leave both gateways at tier 1. Once
I change it so that one (the slower backup one) is tier 2, it works.
This has the impact of not doing an explicit load balance from what I
have read on it.
So ... my question is, what diagnostics should I try to be able to
identify the issue (some sites not working when the system is set in
load balanced mode)? I did try setting the sticky mode
(System->Advanced->Miscellaneous), though I am not sure this is correct
for outbound load balanced multi-wan.
Overall, its working nicely, with a few strange things like this, with
one larger exception that I have a work-around for. More in next email.
