Route all voip traffic to secondary gateway on sonicwall

I need to route all voip traffic to our secondary gateway(x2). In the event there is an issue with the X2, I would like it to use the primary gateway (x1). I am using a sonicwall tz200 with basic failover setup. Any ideas?

Dear,
please do followings;

1) Create on AO for your VOIP Phones Network...logon to SNA> Network > Address Objects
Add:

Name: VOIP Phones
Zone Assignment: LAN
Type: Range
Starting IP Address:, VOIP Phones First ip
Ending IP Address: VOIP Phones Last IP

add,,,ok

now in order to route traffic to Secondary Gateway,,, do as followings;

Login to the SonicWALL Network Appliance and go to Network >Routing > add
Source:      VOIP Phones
Destination:       Any
Service:       Any
Gateway:       Secondary Default Gateway
Interface:       X2
Metric:       20
Comment:       VOIP Phones Static Route

Select the Disable route when the interface is disconnected checkbox to have the route automatically disabled when the interface is disconnected. i Recomend to CHECK this BOX....

for more routes please look at my article on EE https://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Networking_Hardware/Firewalls/A_6509-Network-Traffic-Routing-in-Sonicwall.html

I have a rule like that setup currently. My concern is if that X2 goes down will traffic be able to go out X1? We conducted a test where we failed X2 and the phones could not get to X1.
