Sonicwall secondary WAN setup for RDP only access
Greetings,
I currently have a sonicwall TZ100 with one primary WAN connection (sonicwall port X1).
I will be adding a 2nd ISP to use as secondary WAN connection (port X2) to the Sonicwall for the specific purpose of allowing remote users to RDP into the office to a specific RDP Server IP address.
I don't want the internal LAN office users to utilize this 2nd ISP due to traffic issues.
The RDP Server needs to maintain the same LAN subnet to allow RDP users access to office LAN resources.
Ideally the RDP Server IP Address will only utilize the Sonicwall X2 Port for WAN access and the office users will continue to utilize the sonicwall X1 port for WAN access.
Any direction and/or suggestions regarding the direction to take to configure this is appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have configured the NAT rule per your suggestions and I can successfully RDP (with custom port) directly to my RDP server from my 2nd ISP.
The only problem I have after successfully configuring the above desired scenario is that I no longer have internet access on the RDP Server.
I cannot ping any public IP address from the RDP server.
I wanted to access the website www.ipcow.com to ensure I was utilizing the correct WAN IP address to access my RDP Server.
Is there a way, once logged into my RDP server, I can "test" and "verify" that I am indeed using the 2nd WAN on the sonicwall Port X2 without internet access?
Are there additional settings that need to be configured to allow the RDP server to access the internet after configuring the above scenario?
The Remote users only need access an internal LAN program off the Server and don't need web access from the RDP server. I'm not sure at this point if not having internet access on the RDP server will be an issue for the users.
Thank you for your time.
