How can a server connecting to different route to the same destination?

Currently we have a server via IPLC1 connected to the Client's site server, on our firewall we have done a SNAT. In the future we will install another IPLC2 to connect to this client. both links will be up and running but the client ip address won't change.

My Questions are:
1. How can we determine the traffic will go through which link and
2. if we wanted to make IPLC2 as primary route what should we do, Base on the server setting cannot be changed.

You are calling both hosts "servers", and they could both be providing some type of server service. However for this we need to know if one of them is always acting as a client and the other always acting as a server.

Part of the issue I see right now are the SNATs for 192.168.11.100. Since you have it SNAT'ed to two different IP addresses, it will appear to be 2 different and unique hosts to 192.168.41.105.

So depending on which host is the "client" and which on is the "server", you could have some serious problems.
