I have a Dryatek 2830 connected to Easynet (ADSL, 5mbps) and VirginMedia (50mbps cable).<br />
<br />
The Easynet connection provides a VPN to the office, so I need it on, but the Virgin connection is much faster, so I want to use that for everything else.<br />
<br />
I have used the load balancing option to set the IP for the VPN server as the only IP to use WAN1 (Easynet) and all others to go via WAN2 (Virgin).<br />
<br />
I have used both tracert and VisualRoute top check it, and lo, when i give it the VPN server name, the route goes via Easynet, and any other name I enter shows up as routed via Virgin.<br />
<br />
BUT... when I then fire up IE and go to <a href="http://www.speedtest.net" rel="ugc">www.speedtest.net</a>&nbsp;and check the speed it shows up as having connected via Easynet. The speed confirms this. If I disable WAN1 (Easynet) then it does go via WAN2 (Virgin) as expected.<br />
<br />
I have no idea why tracert and VisualRoute both show my load balancing working, but as soon as I use Internet Explorer it seems to ignore it?

Routing network traffic through a Draytek 2820

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
