Watchguard Firebox Peak - Force traffic through a specific connection?

Mar 08, 2007 2 Replies

Looking for some help with a Watchguard Firebox X Peak 5500 e-Series firewall. I've just started working with a new company, and they have the 5500 on their network. Attached to the box are a T-1 Line, Cable Modem connection, and DSL connection. They are configured for outbound connections in a round-robin mode, which I'm told is for load balancing. There is a web-based app that has some session-specific components, which often loses the connection and resets the client session, as when this happens, the system typically grabs a different circuit than what was originally being used. We're looking to force all traffic to this resource, which is a single host on port 80, through one pipe only. Prior to my arrival, some attempts were made to Deny access to the host on port 80 to two of the connections, but it did not work. I don't know if the config on that attempt was correct, as I didn't see it. Thanks.

Any takers?

I love solving my own problems... :) We setup a route to the host through a specific pipe (Cable Modem), and all traffic went through properly.
