OK, good luck with it... For only 5 or 10 sites, I'd set the default gateway to the internet out the T1, and then put a static route for each known IP pointing to the Metro-E router address ... But if the Sonic Wall will do it for you, go for it.

In looking at the SonicWall policy based routing (thanks Phil!) in combination with their dynamic address objects and groups, I think I can accomplish what I'm looking for with minimal upkeep in the future. In theory, I would just add a dynamic address object for the site I want and then add it to an address group which is what I use for the policy based route. I haven't tested it yet but I think that would do the trick. Everything not assigned via the policy would go out over the T1. And using a dynamic address object should make it work even if site's IP changes. Of course this is all in theory so we'll see what happens when I try it out. - Andy O. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
