Hi Bill, thank you for the response. I did not create any specific rules or NAT to support this. All I did was create a pool of 2 gateways. If I have 2 outgoing sessions from 2 computers, is it supposed to put each session on each Internet link?

Right, not possible (unless you can run a routing protocol at the edge). In-flight connections will always be dropped on failover due to NAT and TCP states. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
